Thanks to Accessories Magazine for including my raised hand emoji earring in today’s “Trend Finders” post!

My Taxi Ring is a JCK Editors’ Pick!
I love lists titled “The Best of the Best,” because it makes me think of the overeager West Point graduate in Men in Black who barks “Because we’re the best of the best of the best … SIR!” I love “Best of the Best” lists even more when I’m part of them! I had just…
Read All About Me on FashPlay
Thanks to the gorgeous Ali A for interviewing me for FashPlay, the site where “fashion and gaming collide.” Not only did Ali spend a long time with me on the phone, but she made me sound coherent even though I was sick and kind of rambling when we spoke. (And I completely lost my train…

JCK Magazine and FitzRoy the Supermeowdel
Thank SO MUCH to gorgeous JCK Magazine editor Jennifer Heebner, who was working on a story about earring jackets when she discovered that my FitzRoy-the-cat earring jackets and birthstone studs were actually the start of a whole FitzRoy collection. She did a separate story about Fitz and his 18K-gold jewelry! I’ve already posted the FitzRoy…
Wendy Brandes Jewelry on W and Book Riot Sites
Thanks to gorgeous Tina Huynh of W Magazine for including my gold peace-sign earring in “Too Cute for Words,” a slideshow of emoji jewelry.

Wendy Brandes Jewelry in the San Francisco Chronicle
I’ve got to give a belated thank you to the San Francisco Chronicle for including a nice big photo of my gold IDGAF necklace in a Valentine’s Day story called “Tough-Love Tactics.” The Chronicle also shouted out my “Screw U” mixed earring pair, which I would love to see someone wear with Stubbs & Wootton’s…
Wendy Brandes Jewelry on ScarJo in W Magazine
I’m thrilled to say that gorgeous actress Scarlett Johansson is wearing my barbed wire rings in the March issue of W Magazine.
