Feel Like an Egyptian Queen, For Less
Crazy-ass psychic Miss Cleo and her psychic friends see some earrings in your future. That’s Miss Cleo but don’t call that number. Luckily for you, a fan of my gold-and-diamond, shoulder-brushing Cleopatra Earrings asked me to make a more affordable version. The original Cleopatra Earrings © Wendy Brandes 2007-2009 So I did! They’re so new…
Sneak Preview of New Locket Design
This isn’t a proper introduction for my new Hatshepsut Locket, but I can’t resist sharing some amateur pictures of my latest piece. This version is in sterling silver, hanging on a black satin cord. Here’s how the necklace looks against my amazing bosom. Please, Pistols, don’t get overexcited by this. To open the locket, you…
Z Is for Zebra. B Is for Buy Earrings.
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…

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!
Beautiful Bloggers Buying Baubles
When I wrote the title of this post, something about it seemed familiar. 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
I designed a new pair of earrings that are more on the traditional side. No skulls or snakes, at least! These blue topaz and diamond earrings are set in white gold. I’m going to use platinum in the future. Click the picture for more information. Blue topaz and diamond earrings © Wendy Brandes 2007-2008Photo by…
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…
