Wendy Brandes Jewelry has lots of heart-themed jewelry that will make anyone’s Valentine’s Day perfect. If you are one of my beloved blog bitches, or related to one, email me at wbjewelry at hotmail dot com and I will give you a special, bitchy price on any of my heart pieces, including the Diana Necklace and the Cleves Ring in silver, shown below.
Here are the rest of the heart pieces: Diana Ring (silver), Diana Ring (18K yellow gold), Diana Ring (18K rose gold and diamonds), Diana Necklace (18K yellow gold and diamonds), Cleves Ring (18K yellow gold) and the amazing Sophie Twisting Heart Necklace.
To give you an idea of the size of the Diana Ring, here’s gorgeous client/blogger Susanna modeling her silver one.
Speaking of shopping, I got an interesting email last night from Neiman Marcus about a new return policy. No more keeping something for six months and then returning it for a full refund!
I will be really jolted if Zappos.com changes their generous return policy. I love them for giving you a full year to return items, but I’ve often wondered how they managed it from inventory and accounting perspectives.
Oh, and speaking of returns, I don’t take them! I am a small business and I don’t carry enough inventory to allow returns.

That heart ring is GORGEOUS. If I wore any rings at all, I’d buy that one and wear it.
Simple, bold..

That Cleves ring is hot!
Duchesse says
Six months seems reasonable (time to get in and out of rehab a few times) but this is not the time to be reducing customer service.
Alice Olive says
That’s interesting about the change in returns policy. Looks like everyone’s making ‘adjustments’ in this economy.
The Diana ring is stunning. Stunning.
DaisyChain says
Holy crap that ring is amazing.
enc says
Who would ever want to return any of their Wendy Brandes Jewelry? The horror!
Carolina Lange says
The heart is so gorgeous!!! Wow!
SOMETHING PICASSO says
Adore the linking swan ring…I think I’ve told you that before though!
-h of candid cool says
zappos gives a year??!!!
30 days is generous enough!!! i dont know why companies go further than that!!
WendyB says
Duchesse, if you don’t have good cash flow, though, belated returns are a real problem. Also people take shameless advantage of return policies. The folks who wear something out and then return it disgust me.
-h, isn’t that nuts? What do you even do with the inventory after a whole year has gone by. Send it to a liquidator? My guess is that they’re going to have to stop doing that. If sales are down, getting surprise returns a year later can really mess you up.
Other peeps, glad you like the jewelry!

A gazillion years ago when I worked at Nordstroms in the training program they told us stories about people coming in to return tires and Nordstrom giving them a refund even thought they have never sold tires. There was another story about a woman coming to the cosmetic counter with two bags. The lady handed one of the bags to the sales person and said she wanted to return it. The sales person asked what she paid for it. The customer told the SA the amount and then realized she had handed the SA bag with her lunch in it. Nordstrom was going to take a return of a lunch. I am SURE they don’t do that anymore.

^^i’ll never forget a woman trying to return the nastiest, oldest Donna Karan catsuit at Nordstrom when I was working there one day – so gross no one wanted to touch it.
I love the size of that Diana Ring, it’s beautiful.
Savvy Mode SG says
What a lovely ring. I adore heart shape jewel pieces.
Siljesfashion says
Love the rings, such beautiful pieces. Valentines day is not that big in Norway, but I always get flowers and champagne from my man!
Theresa says
the ones with the swans are so lovely
jewelrywhore says
I’m not generally a fan of hearts, but your heart ring is fantastic! Want!
Miss Janey says
As if anyone would return one of WendyB’s beautiful pieces. NEVAH!
Molly Gray // Flavia M. (same girl) says
the swang ring is super cute!
The Clothes Horse says
Now if I just had a Valentine to send me metal hearts…
Ally says
Zappos sells their returns in their outlet stores and if you’re lucky to live near one (like me!) you can get some killer deals!!
WendyB says
That’s interesting to know, Ally! Thanks for reporting back on that.
Sister Wolf says
Fuck me, that is terrible about Needless Mark-up!! I pray that Nordstrom doesn’t follow their lead. What’s left of my life will be utterly ruined.
Songy says
who’s going to return your jewels anyway. 🙂
I hope you’re feeling okay now.
Make Do Style says
Wow the Cleves ring is super super divine – why am I a student! When I’m at the Oscars I’me wearing only WendyB!
WendyB says
Make Do, I’m going to hold you to that!
Karen says
