I’m so thrilled! My emoji stud earrings — April’s Jewels of the Month — have been featured on Style.com! A great big … … goes out to Katharine K. Zarrella for writing the piece. You’ll notice it mentions that I made up the middle-finger emoji. When I was looking for a hand model for that…

The Week in Review: Express Yourself
This week, most of my blog posts offered suggestions for how to express yourself stylistically. Monday: You could go the club-kid route and wear these ridiculous Jeffrey Campbell shoes (but I know you won’t). Tuesday: My new emoji stud earrings are clearly a better choice than rainbow platform shoes. Wednesday: Like my emoji designs but…
Customer of the Day: Lauren DeLost and Her Jewelry
Gorgeous client Lauren recently bought my bunny stud earrings and my silver fleur de lis Madame Royale necklace … and got BOTH designs in one photo. Well done, Lauren! I asked Lauren to tell us a little bit about herself and here’s what she had to say: “Hello! My name is Lauren Delost. I’m currently…
“Any Way You Want It” Jewelry
The first concert I ever went to was Journey. The show was at what was then called the Brendan Byrne Arena in New Jersey. I’m wondering if it was one of the Journey concerts I see listed for that venue for May 1983, which would have made me 15. Is that an advanced age for a concert…
Jewels of the Month: Emoji Stud Earrings Are Handy
If you’re keeping up on your social-media trends, you’ll have noticed emoticons are old news. Why use your keyboard to create rough versions of little pictures when you can just use little pictures?

Customer of the Day: Brenda DiForte and Her Genie Necklace
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…
Boyfriend Jeans? Yes. Boyfriend Jewelry? No.
Actress Lea Michele (Glee) was recently spotted wearing a gold nameplate necklace reading “Cory,” in honor of her boyfriend/co-star Cory Monteith. The concept doesn’t appeal to gorgeous JCK Magazine writer Stephanie Schaefer, who blogged, “To me, this trend seems to be the equivalent of doodling hearts around your boyfriend’s name in middle school—cute, but also…
But I Wanted This! Napoleon and Josephine’s Engagement Ring
I don’t know how I missed the original announcement of the auction of the diamond-and-sapphire engagement ring Napoleon gave to Josephine, but I’m quite disappointed. I would have loved to own this piece of history! It was sold by the Osenat auction house in France, and I have to admit that the final, anonymous bid…
What Wendy Wore: Dolce & Gabbana and Rihanna’s Necklace
I sure do love leopard print, and one of my major fashion regrets is that I missed out on a two-toned leopard-print dress by Dolce & Gabbana in 2010. After I saw this bit of perfection on Rihanna I searched for it everywhere but to no avail. It was sold out in my size. I’m…
