Big thanks go out to the Retail Jeweler Magazine for including my Jonah and the Whale Maneater ring in the July/August wedding-bands lookbook! Also, I’m No. 1 on the list. Woot!

Jackie LeBental’s description of my design is lovely. In case you can’t decipher the text in the image, it reads:
“I am always taken by unbelievable imagination and designer Wendy Brandes’ ‘Maneater’ band had my eyes wide open. This handcrafted 18K mixed white and yellow gold piece of ring art intertwines diamonds, tsavorites and sapphires. This story telling ring is something to be seen in person, since it holds a surprise design element underside the shank.”
Well, that made my day!
Thanks also to Jennifer Heebner of JCK for including a link to me in this week’s story on jewelry blogs. She was introducing three new blogs, but thoughtfully included references to us old-timers. (JCK’s Daniel Ford gave me a longer shout-out back in 2012.) Jennifer wrote:
“All of these voices are raising jewelry’s profile simply by casting a spotlight onto it, especially since the digital landscape—where many conversations happen—continues to evolve rapidly. And putting the product on the consumers’ radar is the first step to increasing sales.”
