DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: When the stars gather for the Emmy Awards on Sunday night, there will be a lot of glamour and glitter.
Jodi Ross joins us in Los Angeles with a fashion preview.
Jodi, good morning. Great assignment.
JODI ROSS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Daryn.
Yes, really, what is an award show without diamonds, Daryn, don't you agree?
And my guest here does, Rick Rizzuto, too. He's with RPR Marketing Solutions, representing Jacob the Jewelers, and these beautiful diamond-encrusted watches.
Rick, tell me a little bit about these. These are very unusual.
RICHARD RIZZUTO, RPR MARKETING SOLUTION: Absolutely. Well, these are Jacob signature watches, the five time zone Jacob and Company watch.
ROSS: And diamonds all around.
RIZZUTO: Diamonds all around.
ROSS: And you've got a one of a kind on your wrist as well, right, Rick?
RIZZUTO: Absolutely. This is actually one of a kind. Jacob hasn't released this to the public. Certainly by request only.
ROSS: We're getting the first look.
So tell me, on Emmy night, you are hoping that some celebrities will be wearing these watches. What are the plans? Who goes to what? Who's getting which ones?
RIZZUTO: Basically the plan is we're putting together a Jacob and Company suite this week, starting today, going through tomorrow. We're inviting some of the a-list nominees to come through. We have a couple of watches selected for people like James Gandolfini.
ROSS: Show me that one.
RIZZUTO: Which would be this one that I just showed.
ROSS: And then you've some of the "Friends" friends?
RIZZUTO: Yes, some of the friends of "Friends" can have something like this.
ROSS: And "Sex and the City." I think these would be great for "Sex and the City."
RIZZUTO: These actually haven't been released yet. And I think you're actually wearing one that hasn't been released yet as well.
ROSS: I am Rick. I was going to show you that I've got the blue one nobody's seen. And I am also bedecked here in jewelry from Jacob the Jeweler -- my earrings, my beautiful ring, my diamond pendant. In total, Rick, what am I worth about?
RIZZUTO: In total, you're worth about $40,000, $50,000 right now, so you're doing pretty well.
ROSS: A lot of bling bling. And it feels very good.
Rick, thank you so much for showing us the beautiful watches.
Daryn, I have a good job today, don't I?
KAGAN: You sure do. I hope you're husband, who works here at CNN is watching, and learns the style to which you should be bejeweled, Jodi.
Thank you for that. We appreciate it.
