Surprised too, because I found out only after a charming customer called to order the necklace that was featured. I think the customer was surprised to be talking directly to a surprised designer.

The petite <a href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/pro-detail.php?colid=29&amp;collect=true&amp;id=276\" target=\"_blank\">Mignonette<\/a> is a &#8220;real steal&#8221; compared to most of my gold and gemstone pieces;  I <a href=\"http:\/\/wbjewelry.blogspot.com\/2009\/03\/deconstructing-siobhan.html\" target=\"_blank\">recently explained the size and weight of my pieces as well as the labor<\/a> that goes into setting them.  The Mignonette is the kind of piece I occasionally create as an alternative to my usual look; it&#8217;s perfect for someone who needs a discreet piece of jewelry for everyday wear. The flower is only 3\/8&#8243; wide. You can compare that to something like the <a href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/pro-detail.php?cat=true&amp;id=247\" target=\"_blank\">Boleyn Necklace<\/a>, which is 2&#8243; long. Obviously the little one is the steal!<\/p>\n<p>I happen to be out of Mignonettes right now, but if you want to order one, email me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com, and I&#8217;ll have it for you in about two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that I have a lot of other items for under $500. You can sort the pieces on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/\">my site<\/a> by price; the majority of the under-$500 items are in the silver collection.<\/p>\n<p>UPDATED TO ADD: Thanks to gorgeous bloggers Sarah-Rose and Craig for <a href=\"http:\/\/sarah-craig.blogspot.com\/2009\/03\/oh-darling-wendy-brandes.html\">mentioning me <\/a>today. Glad they like the jewelry and the swearing. <\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was delighted to be mentioned in an article in Crain&#8217;s New York last month.
