December 9, 2013 by WendyB

Thank you to JustLuxe.com for featuring my 18K gold chicken-in-the-egg locket in its “Six Geese-A-Laying: The Perfect Golden Eggs for the Holidays” slideshow. The egg locket opens up to reveal a tiny silver hen with diamond eyes. Lift the hen off her nest, and you’ll spy three 18K gold eggs. I’ve only made one of…

Shot Through the Heart: Earrings for “Pulp Fiction” Fans

October 19, 2013 by WendyB

I sell my stud earrings as singles so customers can mix and match and make their own pairs. For instance, the combination of my silver syringe and anatomical heart studs is perfect for fans of the 1994 classic movie Pulp Fiction.  Here’s the clip of the notorious scene where hitman Vincent Vega (John Travolta) plunges…

The Perfect Top for a Monday Morning, Plus a Tupac Ring

October 14, 2013 by WendyB

This “Fuck Work” holographic sequin tank top by Ashish, available at Browns of London, made me LOL. Unfortunately, there are very, very, VERY few workplaces where one might get away with wearing this. Maybe it’s better to save this top for after you’ve won the lottery and told your boss to take this job and…

Valentine’s Day Countdown, Day 1: Pink Opal Earrings

February 1, 2012 by WendyB

Valentine’s Day is coming right up. Time to buy something for your Valentine, email your Valentine a very specific “hint,” or just treat yourself! (That last option is very popular among my independent-minded customers.) Pink gems are romantic, so my first Valentine’s suggestion is a luxurious pair of shoulder-brushing earrings featuring pink opal drops and…

Father’s Day Shopping Suggestion: Cufflinks

June 12, 2011 by WendyB

Father’s Day is June 21 and, like last year, I’ve got cufflinks for every type of guy. All of these styles are still at 2010 — or even earlier — prices, even though metal prices have been soaring for years. (Silver has doubled in the past 12 months.) Many of my prices will double by…

Ever since knickers showed up on my Never is the Next New Thing™ radar, I’ve been keeping an eye out for more examples. I already found a very wearable pair by J Brand. More recently, I noticed these Dolce & Gabbana pants from The Outnet. At first, I found the military details to be over…

Right on time for Valentine’s Day, here is my latest design, the emoticon heart ring. Don’t know how to make an emoticon heart? Just put a less-than sign and a 3 together, and voilà! A heart. Like my swear rings and asterisk ring, the emoticon heart ring is solid sterling silver. The band starts at…
