Sex and the City 2 Earrings in the New York Times

May 20, 2010 by WendyB

My 4 1/2″-long Cleopatra earrings — worn by Kim Cattrall’s character Samantha in Sex and the City 2 — are in the Thursday Styles section of the New York Times today! If you get the paper version of the newspaper, go to Stephanie Rosenbloom’s Scavenger column on page E3. If you’re online only, click here.

Gold and diamond Cleopatra earrings. Click to buy.

Silver Cleopatra earrings. Click to buy.

If you’re overwhelmed by those two options, you can skip the hassle and read the two most important sentences ever written right here:

“For example, at $7,250 Samantha’s big gold Wendy Brandes earrings, called ‘Cleopatra,’ cost more than a trip to Cairo. But Ms. Brandes also sells the earrings in silver for $450 — by no means cheap, but less than a ticket on Egyptair.”

I just checked the Egyptair website and it’s true: a restricted economy round-trip ticket for one person from New York’s JFK airport to Cairo, leaving May 30 and returning June 5, is $1452.61. But think of all the additional money you’d have to spend on a companion ticket, hotels, dining, Nile cruises and souvenir t-shirts for your extended family that say, “My mummy went to Egypt and all I got was this lousy t-shirt.” That would surely put you over $7,250. Just stay at home and save money by getting my gold and diamond earrings instead.

And, of course, none of my designs are cheap, darlings. We elegant people don’t say the word “cheap“!

If you have any questions about the earrings or need help buying them from my website, holla at me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com.

    So you’re super famous now! Okay, you were already but this is so wonderful to see it all exploding! I’m glad your pieces are getting so much attention.

    I say, but the earrings and wear them in Cairo. Best of both worlds!

    A very big Congratulations goes to you! No big feat is accomplished without many small victories!
    The earrings are gorgeous, and if I wasn’t a broke teenager I would get them. I was weened on gold. But now I’m attached to silver.

    Keep it up! I hope more great things come your way!
    As for making a movie about blowing glitter out my nose, somehow I’ll try and find a way to actually catch it all on video ;D

    Yeeeaaah! WendyB, WendyB, WendyB… three cheers for you girl. Yes, by far those were the two most important sentences ever written. And none of your designs are cheap, they are “quite reasonably priced for the quality.” I love your Egyptian Air Lines comparison! Hehehe… mummy. Too cute.

    My mother used to say “inexpensive” instead of “cheap.” I loved that about her, she always found a way to say something with dignity and truth.
