I’ve been anxiously awaiting photos of gorgeous blogger/client Jennifer wearing her new WendyB Diana ring and necklace. It looks like I’ll be waiting a while longer because as Jennifer explained, “We had girls’ night on Saturday night and I wore my beautiful jewelry…. however, everyone was willing to wear it for me and no one…
Los Angeles Shopping: Roseark
One of my stops during my trip to Los Angeles was Roseark (formerly known as Kaviar and Kind) in West Hollywood. If you’re ever in the area, stop by 8533 Sunset Boulevard and ask to see my designs. This beautiful boutique carries my Papessa Prayer Locket, Xenobia Ring and many other pieces. The lovely ladies…

So nice I had to see them twice! Just a week after meeting the gorgeous Ms. and Mr. Observationmode in New York, I was lucky enough to see them again in Los Angeles. This time, MrB was able to join us for dinner at Ago. From left, MrB, MsOM, WendyB and MrOM aka Greenbeard Thanks…

I’m So Proud of My Girl
I was thrilled to bits to see that my girl Patti LuPone is getting rave reviews for her portrayal of Mama Rose in the Broadway revival of Gypsy. Some critics are going so far as to say that this is the best Gypsy ever. Ooh, the people on the Bernadette Peters fan forum are going…

Engaging Engagement Rings
Contrary to popular belief, engagement rings don’t have to be boring. A round solitaire is about as traditional a stone as you can get, but even those can be spiced up. I encourage clients to be creative. In 2007 or so, my gorgeous client Deb and her husband asked for an engagement ring in which…
The Gladiator Strikes Back
I’ve been keeping an eye out for gladiator sandals since last year. I’ve loved this style since 1985, when I had a pair of flat white gladiators. I felt so chic when I wore them with my Guess ankle-zip jeans and oversize blouse! I’ve been searching for a photo that shows me wearing those shoes…
