Quite a few people have stacked two of my Clemence rings together, but I’ve never managed to get a picture. Gorgeous singer Shontelle (“Impossible<\/a>“) ended my photo drought last Wednesday when she performed and modeled at the “Real Fashion, Real Women<\/a>” show benefiting Bottomless Closet<\/a>. She wore my 18K-gold Clemence ring in rock crystal and black spinel<\/a> with my Clemence ring in amethyst and citrine<\/a> on one finger. I think the combination looks fabulous.<\/p>\n

I bet the ring’s inspiration, the 14th-century Clemence of Hungary, would like this look too. Clemence was the second wife of King Louis X of France. Louis died less than a year after the wedding, but Clemence continued to live the high life, accumulating an impressive collection of art and jewelry. Maybe she’d wear a couple of more Clemence rings on her other hand for a truly queenly look. The version with two rock crystals<\/a> would look great with the ring in rock crystal and kunzite<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you live in or visit the Los Angeles area, you can try on the rock-crystal ring at Broken English Jewelry<\/a> in Santa Monica. You can also buy it at Broken English’s website by clicking the photo below.<\/p>\n

You can also stack the Clemence with other ring designs.\u00a0 Earlier this year<\/a>, photographer Anthony Friend<\/a> shot the black-spinel design with my sterling-silver Nuit ring. (Celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival<\/a> did the nails for this shoot.)<\/p>\n

That’s a 33-carat blue topaz. Only one sterling-silver version of this ring will EVER be made. $4,000. Click to purchase from wendybrandes.com.<\/p><\/div>\n

Of course, a statement ring like the Nuit — named for the Egyptian goddess of the sky — stands alone just fine. Shontelle wore it that way last week<\/a>.
