BritneyWatch, Continued

August 20, 2007 by WendyB

If you can still get the issue of OK! Magazine with Britney Spears and her assistant on the cover…look closely! I’m 99.9% sure that’s my Borgia ring on her finger. You know, lots of jewelers get their work on the red carpet. But how many get theirs photographed in a topless, Sapphic pool romp? It’s…

Thursday Book Club: Pope Joan

August 15, 2007 by WendyB

It wasn’t my intention to recommend books that I haven’t read myself but in honor of one of my newest jewelry designs, I’ll do it. As I said in this post, according to legend, Pope Joan disguised herself as a man and led the Church for a brief time in the 850s. I did read…

Check out my new fruit pendants. The apple, cherry, strawberry, pomegranate, pineapple and grapes are guaranteed to always be in season. The apple is also featured on Uptown Liz.

Happy Birthday, Terri Berry!

August 14, 2007 by WendyB

Happy birthday to my gorgeous sister! Terri changed her last name when she got married. (I did not, but I offered to let my husband change his to mine. He didn’t take me up on that. Silly man!) Anyway, I was hoping she’d marry a guy whose last name was Strawberry. Even I would change…

Tongues Are in Style

August 11, 2007 by WendyB

Well, well, it seems Gene Simmons has been getting around. Gorgeous client Angela sent in this picture of her dog Loolly displaying some impressive tongue. If you have a picture of a pet with a larger-than-life tongue, let me know and I’ll post it here.

This Just In: Papessa Prayer Lockets

August 10, 2007 by WendyB

My Papessa Prayer Lockets were inspired by the story of the medieval Pope Joan, who disguised herself as a man to become the spiritual leader of the Catholic church. Most historians dismiss the female pope as legend, but she has her supporters too. Whatever you choose to believe, this locket is perfect for carrying a…

Great Minds Think Alike?

August 9, 2007 by WendyB

While I’m a believer in the fact that often great minds think alike and we all come up with similar ideas while working independently, I’ve just been looking at another jeweler’s pieces that are so reminiscent of my Mia Scent Locket that I’m feeling a little paranoid. Especially since his/hers are “hot off the press”…

Big, Bold Jewelry

August 8, 2007 by WendyB

Well, I can only applaud this trend! I love big, bold pieces. But I confess that I, like many people, originally shied away from bold pieces, feeling like I couldn’t carry them off, that it would be “too much,” etc. However, once I wore one big piece, I liked the reaction so much that that’s…

Boleyn Necklace = Ugly Betty Necklace

August 6, 2007 by WendyB

If something seems familiar about Anne Boleyn here, it might be because you recognize the necklace from the television show Ugly Betty. When I first saw the Ugly Betty promos, I was VERY relieved that I’d decided to do my own interpretation of the necklace, rather than a reproduction. My version is below. (Photo by…
