Treat Yourself to Wendy Brandes Jewelry

December 21, 2022 by WendyB

Oh, hey, remember how I design luxe jewelry that’s sold on super-chic 1stdibs.com? My end-of-the-year sale started today, so it’s a good time to scoop up any high-end pieces you’ve long coveted.

Jewel of the Month: Holiday Earrings

December 19, 2021 by WendyB

It’s not too late to get someone — or yourself — the perfect pair of holiday earrings. These platinum and rose gold diamond danglers have “Happy New Year” written all over them. Not literally, of course. I feel like I need to clarify that, because I do write on some of my jewelry. But these…

June 30, 2021 by WendyB

I’m extra excited to share June’s Jewel of the Month here, albeit at the last possible minute, because this is the first significant new gold design that I’ve created since 2019. Last year was a washout for jewelry design, but the pandemic wasn’t to blame. My manufacturers actually masked up and went back to work…

Wishlist: Dress With Hood by Pauline Trigere

September 23, 2019 by WendyB

I’ve always loved a hooded dress! Check out this 1960s Pauline Trigere I found on 1stdibs.com It’s actually two pieces. Here’s the plain dress, which is nothing too exciting. Add the hood and it’s a whole new story. I especially like that it’s not just a head piece, but something that goes over the shoulders…

Treat Yo Self While Supporting Abortion Rights

May 23, 2019 by WendyB

Shout-out to gorgeous customer Ali, whose ring order enabled me to make a $25 donation to Access Reproductive Care – Southeast today!
