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
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?
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
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
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…
Britney and the Ring
I finally dragged out the scanner, so here’s the picture from OK of Britney scampering off while wearing my Borgia ring, as well as a close-up of the ring. I’m not too keen on those tighty-whities she’s wearing, but I suppose they’re better than nothing.
Happy Birthday, Leo!
If you need to buy a birthday gift for a Leo (self-gifting counts and is always encouraged!), consider the 18K gold and onyx Eleanor necklace shown here. If you like the onyx look but prefer other kinds of critters, check out my Cleves and Queen of Scots necklaces. And since I’m talking about Leos, I…
Boleyn Necklace at Hever Castle
Here I am wearing the Boleyn necklace outside Anne Boleyn‘s childhood home, Hever Castle. (Click photo to see the necklace clearly.) I wore the same necklace to a garden party in honor of Queen Elizabeth II at the British Embassy this spring. One of the young women working for the Embassy saw the necklace and…
Xenobia in London
Before this particular Xenobia went home with gorgeous client Angela, I took it to London. Angela asked me to show it the sights. Here is a Big Ring admiring Big Ben. We also went to the Tower of London and Hever Castle. Hever is the childhood home of Anne Boleyn and well worth a visit….
The Healthier Addiction
My gorgeous client Alyssa, commenting on my jewelry’s popularity with naughty girls Britney and Lindsay, says, “Maybe you should set up shops in the exclusive rehab places they all go to. Jewelry is a healthier addiction!” She adds, “Personally, I think an ankle monitoring device ‘cover-up’ would be a hot seller.” In addition to being…
