The ring consists of a figural taxicab featuring 92 #YellowDiamonds (0.59cts), 92 #WhiteDiamonds (0.46cts), 130 #BlackDiamonds (1.04cts), and 2 #Rubies as #BrakeLights.  The piece is engraved with #IHeartNY on the #Bumper, as well as with the #ManhattanSkyline on one side of the #18KGold #Shank, and the #BrooklynBridge on the other.  Brandes even hid a tiny businessman, in the shank.  Doing what?  Hailing a cab, of course! #GetIntoIt #WendyBrandes #MadeInNYC #CJDG #PreciousJewelry #Luxury<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;\">A post shared by Michael Shulman (@shulmansays) on <time style=\" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;\" datetime=\"2017-02-19T09:25:09+00:00\">Feb 19, 2017 at 1:25am PST<\/time><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Best hashtag evah, Michael!  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A huge thank you goes out to image consultant Amy Roseveare for interviewing me at length about my Maneater collection for her Jewelry Fashion Tips blog!
