Lately, I’ve become kind of obsessed with the hunka hunka burning love that is rapper Rick Ross. It’s not just because he’s gorgeous …. … or because he has one great song … … or because he’s a former corrections officer who took his stage name from notorious crack kingpin “Freeway” Ricky Ross, who then [...]

The silver versions of my Memento Mori skull designs have arrived! I gave you a glimpse of the ring earlier this month, but now I have the earrings and necklace as well. Like nearly all of my jewelry, these pieces are produced in very limited quantity here in New York. I made two of each [...]

Right before Snakes on a Plane came out five years ago, a friend and I were so swayed by the pre-opening online hype that we bet MrB that the movie would be a mega-blockbuster. Well, it turned out that the hype was just hype. According to IMDB, the movie’s domestic gross barely topped the production [...]

Because of the soaring prices of gold and silver, many jewelers are using less metal in their work. That means a knuckleduster-size ring feels surprisingly light considering how big it looks. My jewelry has always been about heft, because I like the feel — not just the appearance — of luxury. I have pieces that [...]

It comes in handy when I’m working on a couple of complicated posts only to realize it’s Monday and I’ve got nothing ready for publication. But wait! I wore something! Instant post. I [...]

I’m flattered that she’s a fan of my jewelry, and I’ve used her photos on my website. Today, she posted a lovely self-portrait in which she’s wearing my silver Cleopatra [...]

In 2007, I proved that Anne of Cleves, the fourth wife of Henry VIII, was a damn genius. Geniuses are very inspiring, so I created an 18K gold and onyx necklace in Anne’s honor. The necklace features a swan because Anne was born in Schwanenburg (Swan Castle). I was so taken with my Cleves swan [...]

Gorgeous blogger Susan of Style Made by Hand recently acquired my silver and sapphire lotus necklace. Then she drew herself wearing it! Susan says she much prefers the delicate lotus necklace to something chunky — like a collar of bananas. These lovely drawings illustrate a very thoughtful post on discovering one’s style. See what Susan [...]

Get your minds out of gutter! All I’m saying is my 18K gold and ruby cherry necklace is 25% off for the next 24 hours. This really is a steal considering the price of gold is sky-high these days. Just over a year ago, I wrote a post that was like, “OMG! Gold is over [...]

I am so into the Rapunzel-length braid that Rihanna has been wearing lately. She worked the look at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute gala in New York last week and again in Paris on Sunday. I also loved her recent Rolling Stone cover. Maybe her red hair is making me think of red [...]
