Me and Tina in 2011.<\/p><\/div>\n

Tina and I met around 2000, introduced by our mutual friend Stef. When I went into the jewelry business in 2005, Tina was one of my first customers.\u00a0 She writes:<\/p>\n

“I’ve known Wendy for years (and years and years!) and I believe that when we first met, I was a girl who accessorized simply with silver hoop earrings and a plain silver ring. 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, 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 ‘real’ jewelry to owning some unbelievably fabulous jewelry. I love Wendy’s pieces because they are whimsical, sophisticated, humorous and edgy all at the same time.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Because we’re so close, when Tina has an event that calls for some extra sparkle, I’m happy to loan her some special, red-carpet-worthy pieces.<\/p>\n
