WendyB Earrings in W Magazine

June 17, 2011 by WendyB

Get ready to run to the nearest newsstand to snatch up W Magazine‘s July issue with Beyonce on the cover. Superstar stylist George Cortina, who did the rock-icon-inspired “Hit Parade” story, dressed model Joan Smalls as Prince in a Balmain jacket and … my Matilda sword earrings. Woot! Thanks, George!

Look reallllly closely at her ears.

Here’s my own photo of the earrings so you can see them close up. They’re 18K yellow gold with rose-cut diamonds and blue sapphires. They’re currently $10,000, and the price is about to go up due to the skyrocketing cost of gold so if you love ’em, don’t wait!

    congrats! those earrings are really cool and I like how they work on an androgynous level (with this particular look that is). are you influenced by the middle ages? these have a very medieval look to me (a time period that fascinates me)
