Gorgeous stylist Nicole Young gave me a thrill on Tuesday when she used the black swan version of my Cleves ring<\/a> in an NY PIX Morning News segment on “Stunning Oscar Trends for Less.” The ring was part of the Natalie Portman look, of course. And the Halle Berry look featured my giant butterfly ring<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I hope no one died of sticker shock after looking up the swan ring on my website. The 18K-gold-and-black-diamond, non-mass-produced ring goes for $6,950. Hey, it makes sense to skimp on your dress and put all your money into a ring. The gold has resale value!<\/p>\n

My own “dress for less” version of the ring comes in silver, with diamond eyes, and retails for $625.<\/p>\n

The silver version, like the gold, isn’t mass produced. I keep one in stock in size 6 and make others to order. You can feel special if you’re wearing one of these pieces. As a former business partner of mine used to say, “You won’t see yourself coming and going on the street.”<\/p>\n

I’d like to thank a few other peeps for mentioning me lately. I’m always honored and excited whenever anyone writes about me or my work:<\/p>\n
