If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve already seen sneak peeks of my NYC Taxi and Passenger “Maneater” ring, but the ring is finally making its official debut as December’s Jewel of the Month. One side of the ring shows the Manhattan skyline. On the other side, the beautiful Brooklyn Bridge. I like to say…
FitzRoy Is a Marsala Jewel! And January’s Birthstone.
This month, Pantone named “Marsala” as the color of the year for 2015, describing it as a “robust and earthy wine red.” As always, there was criticism of Pantone’s choice, but I like the color because it reminds me of garnets. This fall, I designed a garnet stud and ear jacket combo featuring FitzRoy the…

In case you missed it, here’s what was on the blog this week. Monday: Gorgeous customers modeling their jewelry purchases. Tuesday: My mother’s new-old opal pendant.

Throwback Thursday: Annie on Broadway in 1979
MrB and I went to a screening of the new movie adaptation of Annie last night. Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) makes an adorable Annie and Jamie Foxx plays Will Stacks, the updated version of Daddy Warbucks. I enjoyed watching a little boy next to me literally sitting on the edge of his…
What Wendy Wore: Sequins for the PRhyme Party
When I read that rapper Royce da 5’9″ was getting together with DJ Premier to put out a hip-hop album under the name PRhyme, I thought, “I’ll get that album.” When I saw that they were selling tickets to an album-release party at Santos Party House in New York this Monday, I thought, “I’ll go…
What’s Old Is New Again
My gorgeous mother BarbaraB inherited an old opal-and-diamond pendant. Normally, I’d redesign something like this, but opals are very soft and it’s not always a good idea to disturb them. Instead, I got her a 21″ chain so the pendant would hit her in the right spot. Pretty, isn’t it?
Gorgeous Customers Wearing Jewelry
I love to get photos from my happy customers! Here are a few who treated themselves during my Cyber Monday sale. Gorgeous “Mrs. Rettich” struck twice, first getting my sterling-silver BOSS necklace … … then snagging my Diana heart ring when I found one in her size hiding in my inventory. Gorgeous client Dana also…
Thanks for the Love
I want to thank a few folks for mentioning my work lately! The support is greatly appreciated. You have no idea how much! Lauren Kaminsky, who writes the Pawn on the Cobb blog, included my Pink Elephant and Tipsy Writer Maneater ring in her “Ultimate Holiday Wish List” post. She suggested it for “the adventure…
What Wendy Wore: Homegrown Vintage
I showed a real vintage dress in my last post. But I also love homegrown vintage. I wore this outfit early last month to visit Bergdorf Goodman, one of my favorite stores in the world. This was a very warm day; I went without a coat! Top: Anne Fontaine (2007?) Skirt: Dolce & Gabbana (from…
What Wendy Wore: Committee to Protect Journalists Dinner
The Committee to Protect Journalists gave out its International Press Freedom Awards at the Waldorf Astoria last Tuesday, November 25. I wrote about CPJ’s importance in that day’s post on the movie Rosewater, which tells the story of Iranian-Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari. When Bahari was arrested in Iran in 2009 — and held and tortured…
