In November, rapper Yelawolf (aka my new favorite dick-grabber) put out a song called “Throw It Up,” featuring Eminem and former Three 6 Mafia member and forever black Marilyn Monroe Gangsta Boo.

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 [...]

Gorgeous blogger Brie of If You’re Into It emailed me last night, excited to say she’d spotted my Cleves swan ring in the Dec. 16, 2011, issue of Entertainment Weekly magazine.

My gorgeous client Christine has an affinity for tigers. It started in childhood, when the sight of a tiger in a zoo brought her to tears. She says: “I first saw a tiger in a typical 1960s zoo, when zoo meant a line of small cages. I can still clearly see the brown bear in [...]

I designed my 18K gold and diamond Mia scent locket in 2006. A scent locket isn’t a new concept. (It’s designed so the wearer can put solid perfume in the locket; the openings in the locket allow the fragrance to waft out.)
