You know how the fashion press declares red lipstick to be in style again every few years? The same thing seems to happen with black gems. I’m pretty sure I’ve already sent out “black gems” selections to editors and store buyers twice since starting my business in 2005. It’s clearly time for a third mailing because, yesterday, WWD reported, “Jewelers are showing their dark sides, using a range of black stones — onyx, spinel, diamonds and sapphires — to create a refined sense of drama and intrigue.”

Meanwhile, She Finds says weapon-shaped jewelry is hot. Naturally, I’ve got dangerous designs for you. The most dangerous-looking one is my Matilda sword necklace: an 18K white gold sword that can be pulled out of its 18K yellow gold scabbard. Here it is sheathed …

Last night, I wore one Matilda sword earring with one middle finger emoji earring and one of my special Skylar Grey double-ax earrings. (I have three ear piercings.) Speaking of Skylar and her double-ax logo, I have single-ax stud earrings available. You can get them in 18K yellow gold …

I can also do custom orders for ax earrings (and other studs) in 18K rose gold, 18K white gold or gold-plated silver.

Maybe I’ll get inspired and add one of your ideas to my line!

Got it! Will reply shortly!
The skull ring is my fantasy piece of jewelry! Sometimes, I sit and stroke it on the screen. TMI? And the Matilda necklace…stunning. I might need a “dangerous” roller skate made for my derby anniversary.
I like the roller skate idea!
The jewelry is fabulous. I love the skull locket.
Thanks!
I wish the black skull buttons I used on the plaid Harris Tweed jacket this season could have been Wendy Brandes onyx!
Or turquoise 🙂
