Get ready to run to the nearest newsstand to snatch up W Magazine‘s July issue with Beyonce on the cover. Superstar stylist George Cortina, who did the rock-icon-inspired “Hit Parade” story, dressed model Joan Smalls as Prince in a Balmain jacket and … my Matilda sword earrings. Woot! Thanks, George!

Look reallllly closely at her ears.
Here’s my own photo of the earrings so you can see them close up. They’re 18K yellow gold with rose-cut diamonds and blue sapphires. They’re currently $10,000, and the price is about to go up due to the skyrocketing cost of gold so if you love ’em, don’t wait!
I’m not sure what’s more beautiful…the model or the earrings! Congrats on the feature lady!
ooh I would if Prince would wear them too, how apropos?!
OMG, I would die! They’d be awesome on him. Even one earring would look very sex-ay.
Cooool, they look amazing!
Congrats woman! you’re awesome, I want those too… like everything in your collection! lol
Have a lovely weekend!

oh congrats lady! Love that they’re part of a Prince homage. So cool!
Congrats. They look amazing!
Woot!
Wow, how exciting for you to have your earrings featured in W! Congratulations.
congrats! those earrings are really cool and I like how they work on an androgynous level (with this particular look that is). are you influenced by the middle ages? these have a very medieval look to me (a time period that fascinates me)
That is EXACTLY my influence: http://wendybrandes.com/blog/frequently-asked-questions/#5
