Coming Soon: The Metropolitan Museum’s Jewelry Show
This week’s video is about the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s November exhibition called “Jewelry: The Body Transformed.” I am extra-excited about this show because I have strong feelings about jewelry as art, of course. Check out what I have to say! Sorry about all the reading from the book from the Paris jewelry exhibit, but…
Wednesday’s Video: Unboxing a Skull
October is basically Halloween Month, so I’m going to have a second Jewel of the Month post soon with a new, spooky design. In the meantime, enjoy this leisurely unboxing video for my “Carpe Diem” diamond skull medallion. (Isn’t my new branded ribbon pretty?) If you missed the first Jewel of the Month on Monday,…
Wednesday’s Video: Hashtag Your Life!
There’s one last set of swear rings still available in gold-plated sterling silver! Email me at info at wendybrandes dot com to get it. After that, there won’t be any full swear ring sets because I literally have no “F’s” to give or sell … but I will still have a few hashtag, “at sign,”…

Throwback Thursday: Singapore Sling in 2002
While looking through some photos I took in Singapore in 2002, I found this one of me drinking a Singapore Sling at Raffles Hotel, where the cocktail was invented. I can’t for the life of me remember what one of those tastes like! I’m going to have to order one next time I’m at a…
Wednesday’s Video: Crazy Ancient Romans
Have you seen Crazy Rich Asians yet? I highly recommend it. It’s cute and funny, and a big ring plays an important role, which always pleases me as a jewelry designer. Anyway, my own video this week is about crazy ancient Romans (who aren’t cute and funny, but that’s okay) and one of my poison-ring…
Wednesday’s Video: A Big Birthday Week
There are a lot of important birthdays in my world this week: my sister’s, MrB’s, and Madonna’s. This week’s video mentions all of those but I have to admit that it focuses on Madonna’s big 60th. (Hey, Terri got BirchBox and MrB got a new duvet.) Check out what I have to say about 1980s…
