A big thank you goes out to the accessory editors at ELLE Taiwan for featuring my Marie Antoinette ring and Gloriana necklace in the March 2012 issue. I even got a little blurb mentioning my Fashion Group International Rising Star Award. If anyone can translate the rest of it for me, I’d be most appreciative!

When I saw a mesh-topped Hervé L. Leroux dress in US Magazine, I flashed back to a bodysuit I wore in the summer of 1993. Check out those mom jeans! That’s how we rolled back then. I also had no knowledge of flat irons, as you can tell from my hair. Flat irons are very [...]

I wish I could travel to as many interesting places as my jewelry does, but, for now, I’m living vicariously. I finally got a hard copy of November’s inaugural issue of Harper’s Bazaar Brasil, in which supermodel Gisele Bündchen is wearing two of my rings. I think they’re the “3″ from the two-ring emoticon heart set [...]

In 2010, a year after singer Michael Jackson’s death, his family launched the J5 Collection. J5 stands for the Jackson 5 — the family musical group that launched Michael, who ultimately went on to much bigger stardom. The website describes the “collection” as “a unique celebration of The Jacksons achievements as an international mega group.” [...]

Last month, I was so bored on an airplane that I started flipping through American Way magazine out of desperation. To my surprise, there was a laugh-out-loud interview with Mike D (Michael Diamond) and Ad-Rock (Adam Horovitz) of the Beastie Boys (The third Beastie, MCA [Adam Yauch], is being treated for cancer and didn’t participate).

Are you #addictedtoTwitter? Show your love by wearing my sterling-silver hashtag ring. Originally, the hashtag ring was only available as part of my four-ring swear-ring set, but due to popular demand, I’ve given it a solo role. (Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter at @WendyBrandes.) The swear-ring set previously led to two other designs: [...]
