Crowned Miss Teen North Carolina in 1993 and intending to later practice law, Wendy Williams never dreamed she would end up pursuing a career in the home shopping business. But what woman can say "no" to rubies and diamonds? After graduating from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Campbell University's School of Law, and even practicing law in Charlotte, N.C., she made a significant career change and joined the Jewelry Television® family more than five years ago. Wendy says the most interesting aspect of her job is learning each gem's historical and technical details.
