Wednesday’s Video: I Couldn’t Fool Eryn a 4th Time!

July 3, 2019 by WendyB

Well, this is awkward! In today’s video, I brag about about my ability to plan a surprise for someone, and then I fail to surprise my target. I’m going to put the blame on my right-hand woman Eryn, who was also my would-be victim. She didn’t give me much time to work with. Planning a…

Throwback Thursday: Even More Couture

June 28, 2018 by WendyB

I still have photos to share from the Couture jewelry show in Las Vegas at the beginning of the month. Last week, I promised pictures of people wearing my 18K gold Queen of Scots tiara; this week, I’m delivering! Who says only women can wear tiaras? Not I! The person who got the most wear…

Throwback Thursday: A Little More Couture

June 21, 2018 by WendyB

My right-hand woman Eryn put together some scrapbook-style images from our experience at the Couture jewelry trade show in Las Vegas, which I CAN’T believe was already three weeks ago! Sheesh. Anyway, we got our nails done the day before — important when you’re showing rings and other jewelry all day — and took a…

Throwback Thursday: All About Couture

June 14, 2018 by WendyB

Now that I’m done preparing for/being at/recovering from the Couture jewelry show in Las Vegas, I’m getting back to posing weekly videos. It make sense to kick things off with a video from Couture, seeing as that’s what I’ve been preoccupied with. Before getting to the video, though, I want to share this written interview…

Throwback Thursday: Eryn Wearing Something Borrowed

December 28, 2017 by WendyB

My right-hand woman Eryn got engaged in this February and married in September. I previously mentioned that Eryn had her eyes on my opal lariat necklace for her big “something borrowed” jewelry, but wound up selecting a different design. Here’s a belated photo of her mom helping her with my one-of-a-kind Selene moonstone necklace. When…

Congratulations to Eryn and Donnie!

September 2, 2017 by WendyB

My right-hand woman Eryn is finally wed to her right-hand man, Donnie! Check out Eryn’s beautiful non-white gown. Stay tuned for more and better photos of the dress … and the Wendy Brandes wedding bands! In the meantime, here’s Donnie working on his duckface. His pout is coming along nicely!

Jewel of the Month: Eryn’s Engagement-Ring Redesign

April 10, 2017 by WendyB

April’s birthstone is the diamond, so it’s a good time to feature a custom engagement-ring redesign as the Jewel of the Month. This ring is particularly close to my heart because it’s now adorning the ring finger of my right-hand woman and branding chief, Eryn Patton. Before Eryn’s boyfriend Donnie popped the question, he and…

Good Times at Metal & Smith

January 11, 2017 by WendyB

The Metal & Smith jewelry show took place on Monday, and a good time was had by all! If you’re looking for an event space in Manhattan, I recommend the Mercantile Annex: I love a modern-looking venue with a white floor and white walls. Great natural light too! My right-hand woman Eryn and I introduced…

Wendy Brandes Jewelry on HTGAWM and Bella

November 18, 2016 by WendyB

While I’m working on my next big political post, I’ll share some good jewelry-business news from what turned out to be a surprisingly busy week. Singer Mary J. Blige guest-starred on last night’s episode of How to Get Away With Murder (one of Shonda Rhimes’s hit shows) and she did it while wearing my Bull…

JCK LUXURY, Part I: I’m on the List(s)

June 23, 2016 by WendyB

I’m happy to say that I made two Top Ten lists for the JCK LUXURY jewelry show in Las Vegas! Both times, it was one of my Maneater rings that caught the writer’s eye. Anthony DeMarco, writing for Forbes, said that, “There was more variety than past years at the ‘Luxury’ jewelry trade show in Las…
