That has all since changed. I believe that my first Wendy Brandes jewelry purchase was a small necklace from the first trunk sale of hers that i ever attended. I think that it must have ignited my jewelry-wearing interest because between more trunk sales, <a href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/blog\/2010\/07\/what-wendy-wore-cheap-delicious-cava-with-tina\/\" target=\"_blank\">cava drinking<\/a> and generous tax refunds, I have somehow amassed four pairs of earrings, seven necklaces, two rings, and three single stud earrings ranging from silver skulls to amethyst pendants! I went from being a person without any &#8216;real&#8217; jewelry to owning some unbelievably fabulous jewelry. I love Wendy&#8217;s pieces because they are whimsical, sophisticated, humorous and edgy all at the same time.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"attachment_20470\" style=\"width: 442px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/store\/products.php?product=Vampire-Stake-Necklace\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-20470\" class=\"size-full wp-image-20470\" alt=\"Stake\" src=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Stake.jpg\" width=\"432\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Stake.jpg 432w, https:\/\/www.wendybrandes.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/Stake-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-20470\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tina&#8217;s picture of her Wendy Brandes stake necklace.
