My delightful graphic designer Lori Kadezabek turned 30 today. Her boyfriend got her my Isabella Wolf-Fang Necklace in silver.

Lori picked out the necklace herself, but her BF wanted to surprise her, so he told me that if she asked, I should say I hadn’t heard from him. I was most amused by the email I received from her after she got her gift. The subject line was, “Liar Pants!!!” It went on say:
Obviously you know…HE GOT ME THE WOLF AND IT ROCKS!!! IT IS EVEN MORE AWESOME IN PERSON!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!
I sooo didn’t think I was getting it 🙁
I’m asked to lie about gifts on a fairly regular basis. It’s not my favorite part of the job because I don’t like disappointing people, even temporarily, but I will do it as long as the gift-buyer gives me a warning. But don’t forget about someone’s birthday and then try to retroactively pretend you were conspiring with me all along! I charge extra for being dragged into your domestic drama.
Here is a new Edburga Poison Ring (shown open and closed) for those of you in the shopping mood. This time I didn’t completely blacken the silver but just gave it some texture. The stone is a rose quartz with a diamond set underneath it. It’s not on my halfway-working site yet, so if you’re interested, contact me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com.
By the way, if you are on my blog roll, you should ALWAYS contact me at that address to purchase rather than using the website. Blog roll bitches fall into the “friends and family” category, so you are welcome to make your request personally.
Can I bribe you with some of the brownies that I’m making right now to get on your blogroll??
*flutter flutter*
The necklace is so rocking.
What sharp neckace!
The new ring is very cool. I love how it looks both open and closed.
I should save for the poison ring and put real poison on it and give it to my ex-boss from hell.
How much was it again Miss Wendy? Miss yah girl!
Besos!
I can’t wait until I can afford your jewelry. How many times have I said that? Well, you always make me laugh.
The wolf-fang necklace rocks, Wendy!!
I have a few people who need the poison in the Edburga ring, but jokes aside- they would make such beautiful gifts! It’s always a joy for me to look at your site and be reminded that jewellery isn’t necessarily heavy, bulky, fusty stuff (like most of what I see in real life- precious little actual design going on, it’s more about how many carats there are going on. Trad bijoux can get boring..).
that necklace is so sweet !! wanna buy it soon
I wanted to read some more on your site after viewing the homepage but somehow that fang stuck in my head and hunted me down until commenting on! So here I am – it’s one cold beauty! And as far as the ring goes – you made me remember all those tragic fairy tales from my childhood. That and the music I’m listening right now (Mariza – Cavaleiro Monge) arranged the mood for today! See if I can cook now or clean up the house! I’m sooo out of this time!
blog roll bitches…how elegantly put lol!! and damn right you should charge extra if you ever do get dragged into domestic dramas. it must be great to make someone happy with your designs…wish i had half the talent at something ANYTHING!
Why am I suddenly hearing the song Hungry Like the Wolf in my brain while looking at this necklace? It is Simon LeBon hawt! Want!
Both are fabulous. Miss J totally coverts the ring.
I LOVE this ring. You are very, very talented, but I’m sure you already know that! 🙂
Thank you, BGG! A lot of the credit goes to the manufacturers who make my visions reality!
Princess, I will certainly add you to the blog roll.
To other peeps – thanks! I’m glad you like the pieces.
I love being called a blogroll bitch. It’s got zing.
I love the necklace! I wish I could pull off something like that, I don’t know why but I never wear anything hanging from my neck…!
xx

I would like to know the price but I’m going to try to contact you by email
