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…

Three Textures, New Ring
You can’t see much in this picture [glaring at photographer], so you’ll just have to believe me when I tell you that I’m wearing three textures of black in this photograph from Friday night. If you click on the photo, you can enlarge it a tad. Dolce & Gabbana jacket (previously seen here)Velvet Zang Toi…
Trunk Show Thanks
Thank you to all my gorgeous customers and helpers* who made last night’s trunk show at Pink Elephant so wonderful. No thanks to T-Bags, the makers of a dress that I wore because I liked the colors, not realizing it made me look 10 months pregnant. I thought I only looked six months pregnant in…
Trunk Show Tonight
I’m debuting some new jewelry at the trunk show tonight. One of my personal favorites is the Siobhan Ring. This ring was inspired by a story that my friend Siobhan (pronounced “shi-vawn,” not “cee-oh-bahn”) told me about her mother. Back in the day, Mum collected old gold wedding bands and wore all of them stacked…
Beautiful Bloggers and Baubles, Part II
I am unable to resist following up yesterday’s post with this exceptionally adorable self-portrait by Susanna of Jewel Box Dreams, who is modeling her new WendyB-designed Diana Ring. If cuteness were against the law, I’d have to make a citizen’s arrest!

I finally realized I was thinking of a line in The Berenstains’ B Book: “beautiful baboon blowing bubbles.” Please note that that is NOT a comment on the appearance of any of my gorgeous blogging clients. However, it might be a sign…
Out of the Blue

Foxy Lady
I know this was a terrible experience for the victim of a rabid-fox attack, but I can’t help laughing a little at the idea of a jogger running a mile with a fox clamped onto her arm. Speaking of foxes, here’s the latest addition to my men’s collection. I call this fox-and-grapes combo “Aesop’s Shirt…
‘Shroom Sale
I’m happy that so many of you like the mushroom necklace featured in the post below. This photo is larger than life. See here for measurements. This is your lucky day, because my manufacturer accidentally made my sample ‘shroom in 14K gold instead of 18K. I’d like to sell this one quickly because I prefer…
