The Weeks in Review

January 8, 2017 by WendyB

In case you missed it, here’s what’s been on the blog recently.

  • Sunday, Dec. 18: RIP, Zsa Zsa Gabor. Much jewelry-designer respect to the woman who once said, “These are just my working diamonds.”
  • Monday, Dec. 19: ANZA Gems has launched its e-commerce site. If you buy the ruby ring I designed for ANZA, the proceeds will provide lunch for the students of the Kitarini primary school in Tanzania for at least a month.
  • Wednesday, Dec. 21: Thanks to Becky Stone of Diamonds in the Library for shouting out my feminist jewelry!
  • Thursday, Dec. 22: RIP to groundbreaking fashionistas China Machado and Franca Sozzani.

  • Thursday, Dec. 29: We need to the Committee to Protect Journalists more than ever.
  • Friday, Dec. 30: The concerts I didn’t get to write about.
  • Saturday, Dec. 31: New Year’s Eve throwback to 2006.
  • Tuesday, Jan. 3: Think about running in the 2017. Running for office, I mean.
  • Wednesday, Jan. 4: If you’re a jewelry professional, come visit us at the Metal & Smith show on January 9 and Thanks to ANZA Gems for this great Instagram post on my two-finger ring, featuring ethically sourced everything!
  • Thursday, Jan. 5: Big shirts of the 1980s.

Over on Instagram, check out this gorgeous fan art of supermodel Bella Hadid wearing my jewelry in Paper magazine.
