MMMMMMMMMMMMelissa

July 31, 2008 by WendyB

This week, gorgeous client Melissa received her custom-ordered “M” Boleyn necklace from me. We celebrated with numerous glasses of Prosecco. After the drinks, my photography skills were impaired, so you can just barely see the necklace on Melissa in this photo.

Here’s a better look at the necklace.

    It’s so gorgeous! Just like your clients! You’re a talented lady, Ms. B. As soon as I score a book deal I’m buying a gold “W.” Mark my words.

    Kira, that’s funny, when I commented about your Melissa shoes, I didn’t even realize I had a different type of Melissa post.

    WOw, I didn’t realize that one could order that piece in another letter! It is really beautiful.

    I would seriously love one in either W for Wolf or C for the C Word!

    I loved The Other Boleyn Girl. I think those stories are so interesting and the work that goes into the costume and jewelry leaves breathtaking results. Great Job with that necklace. I’m sure your client was thrilled!

    I just started reading The Other Boleyn Girl and every time the necklace is mentioned, I always think of your design. 🙂

    hahha it looks great, those necklaces are getting really popular now. I want one too;)

    Oh Wendy, you don’t know how you’re making me pine! My dad’s a historian and as an extremely nerdy daddy’s girl, the Tudor dynasty is my favorite period in British history!

    And, more pertinently, your design here is so beautifully detailed. You’ve made such perfect choices with it. 🙂

    Girl you got talent!

    Congrats on the Marie Claire piece! I just read it this week.

    Did you go to the Hearst building at all? It seems like one of your pictures was in the building. I recently finished an internship with Harper’s Bazaar. Absolutely love the building 🙂

    Good eye, Le Fashion. The green dress photo was taken in Marie Claire’s offices.

    Your Boleyn necklaces are very very beautiful.

    Too bad my name starts with an ugly letter. But you’d propably work that out all nice anyway. I just need to freelance a little bit more first before I’d ask you to do it.
