Quite a few people have stacked two of my Clemence rings together, but I’ve never managed to get a picture.

I was digging the short hairdos at MTV’s Video Music Awards last night. Of course, Pink has been a devotee of short hair for years. But she had more company than usual at the VMAs. Miley Cyrus went short last month, and her hair looked great glammed up for the event. I’ve adored many of…

Vogue Paris Features Wendy Brandes Jewelry
In case you missed my excited tweets yesterday, Vogue Paris picked my Empress Wu dragon ring for its “le bijou du jour” website feature. I liked the way the story referred to me as “la créatrice new-yorkaise.” I also liked what supermodel Christy Turlington wrote about my ring on Vogue’s Facebook page. However, “a bit…
