Jewelry Can Make You Strong, Part II

May 11, 2013 by WendyB

I met gorgeous blogger Mardel of Resting Motion in 2011, when a group of bloggers gathered for drinks during Fashion Week. If she didn’t have to leave a little early that night, I might have never have gotten around to talking to anyone else. Mardel and I just happened to sit next to each other…

Customer of the Day: Anne and Her Juana Skull Necklace

April 13, 2013 by WendyB

Today, gorgeous client Anne is modeling her sterling-silver Juana skull necklace with white sapphire eyes for us. Anne says she was drawn to Juana because “she’s a very refined take on an edgy theme.” She adds: “It’s just a really classic design, somehow, and I love her sparkly eyes. She looks like a carving from…

Customer of the Day: Brenda DiForte and Her Genie Necklace

March 30, 2013 by WendyB

When gorgeous client Brenda DiForte sent me this picture of herself wearing her new 18K-gold teeny genie necklace, I immediately asked if I could share it. Look at how adorable she is! She emailed me, “Obsessed with my genie necklace! It’s been my go-to piece!” That’s a major compliment because Brenda studied jewelry design at…

Jewelry Can Make You Strong

March 20, 2013 by WendyB

I’ve written about how my IDGAF necklace makes me feel brave. Or maybe it’s more accurate to say that it forces me to act bravely regardless of how nervous I feel. I simply have to rise to the occasion because I would be ashamed to wimp out while wearing a necklace that boldly says, “I…

WWD Likes Social-Media Jewelry; Buy Yours From Me!

February 25, 2013 by WendyB

I was excited to see today’s Women’s Wear Daily story about the social-media-influenced fine-jewelry designs. While my signature Wendy Brandes line is inspired by women’s history, my WENDYB by Wendy Brandes diffusion line is all about pop culture, particularly the online world. My first design for the diffusion line was the four-ring swear ring set…

Favorite Tweets and the Week in Review

January 27, 2013 by WendyB

Recently, I’ve gotten some heartwarming tweets. On Friday, I met with Jennifer Heebner, a senior editor at jewelry industry publication JCK Magazine. JCK was so supportive of me in 2012, choosing me to be its “JCK Asks…” interviewee in the November issue. (Melissa Rose Bernardo‘s introduction to my interview made me laugh out loud.) My…

Flaunt Your Age

January 4, 2013 by WendyB

The late, great Nora Ephron wrote a book called I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman. In the title essay, she called the neck “a dead giveaway” when it comes to age: “Our faces are lies and our necks are the truth. You have to cut open a redwood…

Good Customers and Bad Customers

December 27, 2012 by WendyB

I was going to share some insane emails — verbatim — from a would-be customer but I decided to spare you normal people the foolishness. (But if any crazy people happen to be reading this, make a note to yourselves: I don’t have to do any custom work that I don’t want to, and if…
