What Wendy Wore: #TheHookUp Pop-Up Shop
A big thank you goes out to all the gorgeous clients who came by our two-day pop-up shop this week! And a YUGE thank you to jewelry designers Julie Lamb and Jackie Cohen, who organized this event, which they named #TheHookUp. As Julie told JCK, she and Jackie were “aiming to hook our guests up…
Wendy Brandes Jewelry in the Press
Thanks to Hong Kong Jewellery Magazine for featuring my Susan earring design in its March issue! The story is about “Greenery,” Pantone’s color of the year. I’d say that 16.39 carats of peridot (plus 1.41 carats of diamonds) fit in quite well! Thanks also to Emili Vesilind of JCK for writing about this week’s pop-up…

Thank You!
I wish I could list all the people who made my holiday sale and pop-up shop such successes, but it would take me so long that — if this were an awards show — the orchestra would play me off stage. So I’ll simply say thank you to everyone who blogged, Tweeted, attended, shopped (both…

You Give Me (Nonexistent) Fever
I got a little hoarse yesterday. Considering I have two sales coming up, this hoarseness made me very nervous. I took my temperature and it was 99.1. This is basically normal, but, because it wasn’t exactly 98.6, I decided I must be coming down with swine flu. Normally I don’t worry about such things, because…
Days of Wine and Cheese and Vintage
I dropped by my pop-up shop space on Sunday to take some final measurements and found two lovely ladies in temporary residence, doing their own pop-up shop. The owners of Poppet Vintage and Tahir Boutique showed me their vintage wares, including this blouson Koos Van Den Akker Couture dress. When I asked them to show…
