Jewel of the Month: Diamond Micro Studs for Tender Ears
As a jewelry designer, I have a lot of earrings to choose from. As a midlife rebel, I decided I needed more piercings to accommodate the earrings. Since 2014, I’ve gone from the three lobe piercings I’ve had since the 1980s to eight total piercings, including lobe, tragus and conch. Due to Murphy’s Law, the…
Musical Interlude: Andra Day and Rihanna
I’d heard of singer Andra Day before, but I didn’t truly HEAR her until she performed with Ellie Goulding at the Grammy Awards last month. While she was still on the Grammy stage, I was checking for tour dates and I had my tickets for her March 25 show at Webster Hall by the time…
Who Is Your Fashion Audience?
Some people say that women dress to impress straight men. (Not a good idea, as I’ve pointed out before.) A lot of women say they dress for themselves.

The Best Easter Egg Evah, Plus the Week in Review
Admittedly, I’m biased, but I think I have the best Easter egg evah (apologies to Faberge and the Russian royal family, but mine is wearable). My egg locket is made out of 18K yellow gold and it has a surprise inside. Look at the silver hen with her diamond eye! But why stop with one…
Easter Is Coming and My Bunnies Are Going
It’s time for the Easter bunny to bring me some delicious Cadbury Creme Eggs … in other words, I better get over to the drugstore and get myself some before they’re all gone. Something else that’s almost all gone: my silver bunny stud earrings. I have one pair left for immediate delivery. Click the photo…

What Wendy Wore: All Gold Everything
I’ve been thinking about re-wearing my gold, one-sleeved, vintage dress since last November.

What Wendy Wore Dress: From Allan & Suzi’s vintage/consignment store (2004) Shoes: Prada (2010) Clutch: Sequoia, from Galeries Lafayette (2011) Earrings: My…
Let Me Redesign Your Old Jewelry!
Dang! I wish Ginanne Brownell Mitic had spoken to me for this New York Times article about redesigning old jewelry. Redesigning is one of my specialties and I have interesting stories to tell. CLICK HERE FOR MY POSTS ON REDESIGNS. One of my first redesigns took a 60-point diamond (just over half a carat) and…
