Wendy Brandes Jewelry in November ELLE

October 14, 2011 by WendyB

Where is the year going? October is flying by and my mind is still in July. I’m certainly not ready for November. But the arrival of the November issue of ELLE with Jennifer Aniston on the cover is okay with me, because my 18K gold and diamond Virginia Woolf Whistle necklace is prominently featured on page 154!

Click to enlarge.

This is the kind of editorial credit that designers dream of getting. Thanks so much, ELLE!

People often don’t realize how big my jewelry is. I’ve seen plenty of miniature whistle charms meant for charm bracelets. My whistle is much, much larger than that. You can get a sense of the size from the photo below, where I’m wearing the necklace with my vintage Jacques Tiffeau dress.

I don't recommend wearing this big thing on a charm bracelet. Click for original post.

Read more about the whistle here.

Thanks also to National Jeweler for featuring my amethyst Marie Antoinette ring in a story on autumn colors. Click here to read it.

    You should make a dog whistle necklace next! Then, the next time Henry acts up, you just blow the whistle. 😉

    And that dress so cute, too!

    Anyway, congratulations on all the press! Big hugs!
