Two New Custom Necklaces

March 5, 2014 by WendyB

I love doing custom work for gorgeous clients. My policy is that if you can describe it and pay for it, I can make it! I did two custom necklaces recently. The first one was for a gentleman who wanted to get his entrepreneurial daughter a necklace that featured the name of her start-up company…

Jewel of the Month: Susan’s Custom Birthstone Earrings

February 6, 2014 by WendyB

I enjoy redesigning my customers’ old, unloved jewelry. I’ve even redesigned earlier redesigns. For instance, I made a ring for my gorgeous sister, Terri Berry, in 2011. The stones originally came from my mother’s ruby-and-diamond cocktail ring. Before I was in the jewelry business, I took the cocktail ring to a local jeweler, who did…

Get Your Bespoke Jewelry From Wendy Brandes!

August 15, 2013 by WendyB

There’s a story in today’s New York Times Thursday Styles section about “bespoke jewelry.” “Bespoke” is a fancy word for custom jewelry, the term that I prefer. I was especially interested in this paragraph. “So-called bespoke pieces (the term started in men’s wear but has spread, like ‘curate,’ to everything from bicycles to software) are…

“Any Way You Want It” Jewelry

April 3, 2013 by WendyB

The first concert I ever went to was Journey. The show was at what was then called the Brendan Byrne Arena in New Jersey. I’m wondering if it was one of the Journey concerts I see listed for that venue for May 1983, which would have made me 15. Is that an advanced age for a concert…
