I’m definitely NOT feeling the love today, which is good, because it’s time for an anti-Valentine’s Day choice for my Valentine’s Day/anti-Valentine’s Day jewelry gift-guide countdown. I’ve got a few suggestions today, starting with my GTFOH necklace. GTFOH is what I thought when someone pointed out this Louis Vuitton hashtag earring to me last night….

Valentine’s Day/Anti-Valentine’s Day Countdown: #7 of 14
How’s THIS for a Super Bowl 50 ring? Today’s Valentine’s Day selection is the redesigned engagement/50th anniversary ring I made for my mother last year, using her original center diamond and baguettes. Obviously you can’t buy this particular ring but I can use this style of platinum setting for any custom engagement ring. If you’re…
Valentine’s Day/Anti-Valentine’s Day Countdown: #6 of 14
Damn, girl! The day before hitting the stage with Coldplay at the Super Bowl, Beyonce released a surprise single and video called “Formation.” She outdid herself with this Hurricane-Katrina-referring tribute to black pride and black power. Here’s a tweet that sums it up nicely. She is the biggest star in the world, standing on a…

Dustin Hoffman didn’t look half bad either! You can skip the dress-shopping and look ravishing in red on Valentine’s Day (and every other day) with my…
Valentine’s Day/Anti-Valentine’s Day Countdown: #2 of 14
Some people loathe Valentine’s Day. “It was invented by Hallmark to sell cards!” they complain. That’s not true, though. The holiday can be traced back to the kinky ancient Roman holiday of Lupercalia, which was then adapted by early Christians, who liked to de-kink pagan holidays by co-opting them and giving them a new backstory…

Almost as Good as SkyMall
Yesterday, I said getting catalogs in the mail isn’t as fun as getting a letter. I realized how wrong I was when I got this catalog from Bits and Pieces. Who wouldn’t want these sneaker socks?! Bits and Pieces says, “These novelty sneaker socks are printed to resemble popular hi-tops that cool kids have been…
Peace and Love … and Cussing
I always appreciate it when people write about my work. Thank you to Cindy Edelstein for including my peace sign emoji earring in her thoughtful Peace and Love TrendTracker report for National Jeweler. Cindy wrote: “In light of recent attacks around the world, including in Paris and Beirut, there is only one trend to track…
