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…

Britney and the Ring

July 30, 2007 by WendyB

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!

July 27, 2007 by WendyB

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

July 27, 2007 by WendyB

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

July 27, 2007 by WendyB

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

July 26, 2007 by WendyB

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…

Xenobia in Bermuda

July 26, 2007 by WendyB

My jewelry gets around. Xenobia contemplated the sea in Bermuda with Angela, one of my gorgeous clients. If you are one of my gorgeous clients, please send me travel photos of your jewelry. (If you are Britney Spears, get help!)

Britney Spears stole my ring, y’all!

July 25, 2007 by WendyB

Run out and get the Britney’s Meltdown issue of OK! Magazine. Ms. Brit-Brit is wearing my Borgia ring on page 46. She helped herself to that ring and quite a few other items during the shoot. It’s always nice when someone appreciates my designs but I generally don’t like to offer customers a five-finger discount….
