If you need to buy a birthday gift for a Leo (self-gifting counts and is always encouraged!), consider the 18K gold and onyx Eleanor necklace shown here. If you like the onyx look but prefer other kinds of critters, check out my Cleves and Queen of Scots necklaces. And since I’m talking about Leos, I…
Boleyn Necklace at Hever Castle
Here I am wearing the Boleyn necklace outside Anne Boleyn‘s childhood home, Hever Castle. (Click photo to see the necklace clearly.)

Xenobia in London
Before this particular Xenobia went home with gorgeous client Angela, I took it to London. Angela asked me to show it the sights. Here is a Big Ring admiring Big Ben. We also went to the Tower of London and Hever Castle. Hever is the childhood home of Anne Boleyn and well worth a visit….

Run out and get the Britney’s Meltdown issue of OK! Magazine. Ms. Brit-Brit is wearing my Borgia ring on page 46. She helped herself to that ring and quite a few other items during the shoot. It’s always nice when someone appreciates my designs but I generally don’t like to offer customers a five-finger discount….
