As I said in yesterday’s clearance sale post, I have some fabulous 14K gold jewelry — that I did not design — from back in the day. I would like to send these pieces off to good homes so I can focus 100% on my own designs. I only have one of each style, so…

Valentine’s Day Clearance Sale, Part I
I have some fabulous 14K gold and diamond jewelry — that I did not design — from back in the day. I would like to send these pieces off to good homes so I can focus 100% on my own designs. Here’s the first batch. These earrings are all lovely and my photo doesn’t do…
I Blame the Ladies
I went out with a bunch of L.A.-based bloggers and I am a little tipsy. I meant to name these new earrings tonight but now I can’t come up with anything. What do you think? They’re 18K rose gold with gold-colored pearls. The earrings, not the drunk bloggers. Interested in these? Email me wbjewelry at…
Same Old, Same Old
Here I am a couple of days ago, in my Black Halo top, Acne jeans and Karl Lagerfeld shoes from 1994. My Prada Gaufre bag is on the table. I’m standing in a hotel lobby. And here I am in March 2008, in my Black Halo top, Acne jeans and 1994 Karl Lagerfeld shoes. My…
Looks Can Be Deceiving
Jewelry photos are strange. All the small pieces look big … and all the big pieces look small. From this picture, you might think my new Wildflower Earrings were harmless little studs, but I assure you that they are actually big, bold, kickass earrings. I bet you didn’t know that flowers could kick ass. Well,…
Feel Like an Egyptian Queen, For Less
Crazy-ass psychic Miss Cleo and her psychic friends see some earrings in your future. That’s Miss Cleo but don’t call that number. Luckily for you, a fan of my gold-and-diamond, shoulder-brushing Cleopatra Earrings asked me to make a more affordable version. The original Cleopatra Earrings © Wendy Brandes 2007-2009 So I did! They’re so new…
Z Is for Zebra. B Is for Buy Earrings.
I don’t usually make such small pieces, so if you like the little things, seize the day! These zebra-patterned stud earrings are perfect if you want just a hint of animal print. They’re made of rock crystal, hand-painted in Germany. The setting is sterling silver. I have two pairs for sale for $225 each. I…
Out of the Blue
I designed a new pair of earrings that are more on the traditional side. No skulls or snakes, at least! These blue topaz and diamond earrings are set in white gold. I’m going to use platinum in the future. Click the picture for more information. Blue topaz and diamond earrings © Wendy Brandes 2007-2008Photo by…
Word to the Wise
Advice: If your friend is a jewelry designer (and you’d like some jewelry), tell her about your birthday the day before, NOT the day after. Happy belated birthday, Melissa! (Now, bid again!) Last night, I stopped by Melissa’s for dinner and a jewelry fashion show. Melissa was looking completely sex-ay in the cutest jeans evah….
This Has Grrrrr-own on Me
I’ve gone from being amused by this kitschy Maison Martin Margiela bag to craving it. The style of my bad-ass blonde friend from 1983 must be influencing me, because you know she would have loved this bag. She probably would have hung a feathered roach clip from it. Unfortunately, a wolf bag is not something…
