Tweet Have any of you seen Baz Luhrmann’s Great Gatsby movie? What did you think? The reviews make me disinclined to see it. I hate the grungy, crowded movie theaters in New York City, so I don’t like to venture into them unless I know the movie is worthwhile. If I were out in Los Angeles, [...]

Tweet The Wall Street Journal today ran an article by Jenni Avins called “Falling for the Flip Side” about jewelry with secret details. I so wish I had been included in this story because the first paragraph captures my design philosophy so well: “To the casual observer, jewelry is all about catching the eye—how a [...]

Tweet As I was awaiting the appearance of Francis, the new pope — and listening to a few of television’s talking heads musing about the role of women in the Catholic Church — one of my gorgeous customers messaged me to say that I needed to do some female pope rings. While rings aren’t in [...]

Tweet The reaction to my “romantic, gothic, alien” jewelry that I hear (and enjoy) the most is, “I’ve never seen anything like that in my life.” Other jewelers gasp when they see that my golden egg locket opens to reveal a tiny, diamond-eyed silver chicken … which, in turn, opens to reveal three gold eggs.

Tweet If you’re fluent in French, holla at me in the comments, because I’d love to get a good translation of Made in Joaillerie’s post on my ruby-and-gold Juana peekaboo skull locket! Of course, I’ve already used Poodle Translate so I get the gist of the story, but those computerized results aren’t very elegant. I’m [...]

Tweet I blogged about an adorable sarcophagus-and-mummy locket I made several years ago, but I never put the necklace on my e-commerce website. I meant to do so, but the one-of-a-kind necklace turned out to be too popular with editors and stylists for me to part with it. Now, with Halloween approaching, I figured I’d [...]

Tweet The results of the Washington Post’s annual Peeps diorama contest were announced last weekend. The winner was “OccuPeep D.C.” I’ve been obsessed with the Peeps diorama contest for years but have yet to enter. My extra-early New Year’s resolution is to build a Peep diorama for the 2013 contest. Of course, I made the [...]

Tweet Studded and spiked shoes have been done to death, and I thought the look would never appeal to me again. Well, you know what I say about the word “never”; I might as well replace it with “definitely” when it comes to fashion. Gorgeous blogger Poochie of Shoe Daydreams posted these shoes by Ruthie [...]

Tweet When I introduced my Genie in a Bottle cufflinks last month, I said I would wait for professional pictures to show you the 18K gold genie inside the silver bottle. I decided can’t stand waiting, so here’s a snapshot I took of the necklace version of this design. She’ll grant you three wishes.Genie in [...]
