Word to the Wise

September 9, 2008 by WendyB

Advice: If your friend is a jewelry designer (and you’d like some jewelry), tell her about your birthday the day before, NOT the day after. Happy belated birthday, Melissa! (Now, bid again!)

Last night, I stopped by Melissa’s for dinner and a jewelry fashion show. Melissa was looking completely sex-ay in the cutest jeans evah. Here she is showing off the Cleopatra Earrings I brought over for her to try. The other jewelry she’s wearing is all from the WendyB line and she owns all of it: Juana Necklace, Matilda Necklace, Liva Poison Ring and Diana Ring! She’s my biggest fan and I’m hers, too.

Her friend Kathy previously made an appearance on this blog here. We heart Kathy! She’s wild. Kathy decided that my diamond Sunshower Earrings would be a perfect addition to her nose ring.

I had a hard time taking the picture because I was laughing so hard.

Kathy asked me to make her the Cleopatra Earrings in silver, so I have to get on that first thing tomorrow.

The Cleopatra Earrings are an eye-catching 4 1/2 inches long but incredibly lightweight. They looked amazing on both Melissa and Kathy. You can see them on me here. I won’t know how much the plain silver version will be until I finish making it, but the price should be quite reasonable for statement earrings like that. If you want to order the earrings, email me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, I’m making some petite stud earrings that will be in the $200 range. I’ll be showing those in a couple of weeks.

Back to Melissa … I snapped two of her three adorable dogs tonight too.

Molly is the one looking right at me.
Someday I’m going to dognap her and keep her forever.

When I left, Melissa and her pooches walked me out. While they were walking me to the corner, two other dog people who regularly see Melissa on walks stopped to tell her how much they love her hair.

    Hee hee! SRU, those are Cavalier King Charles spaniels but they’ll be pleased to know they were mistaken for really big dogs!

    Melissa’s hair is very cute, indeed. She’s a great patron of Wendy Brandes Jewelry! Her adorable dogs need some jewelry now, too.

    I love what Kathy did with that earring.

    Cleopatra earrings are gorgeous! And, it is nice that you have expanded your line to include things for the under served nose-ring market.;-)

    Great pics. INterestring nose ring. Miss J thinks the Cleo earrings in silver will be too difficult to resist.
