I still have photos to share from the Couture jewelry show in Las Vegas at the beginning of the month. Last week, I promised pictures of people wearing my 18K gold Queen of Scots tiara; this week, I’m delivering! Who says only women can wear tiaras? Not I! The person who got the most wear…

Throwback Thursday: A Little More Couture
My right-hand woman Eryn put together some scrapbook-style images from our experience at the Couture jewelry trade show in Las Vegas, which I CAN’T believe was already three weeks ago! Sheesh. Anyway, we got our nails done the day before — important when you’re showing rings and other jewelry all day — and took a…
Throwback Thursday: All About Couture
Now that I’m done preparing for/being at/recovering from the Couture jewelry show in Las Vegas, I’m getting back to posing weekly videos. It make sense to kick things off with a video from Couture, seeing as that’s what I’ve been preoccupied with. Before getting to the video, though, I want to share this written interview…
Greetings From Las Vegas!
My right-hand woman Eryn and I just wrapped up our first appearance at the five-day Couture jewelry show in Las Vegas. We were part of Salon 137, the Contemporary Jewelry Design Group booth, with five other fabulous fine-jewelry brands: Ananda Khalsa, Anthony Lent, Baiyang Qiu, Dana Bronfman, and my longtime jewelry-biz friend Erika Winters. I’m…
Wendy Brandes Jewelry at Couture (and in WWD)
If you’re in the jewelry industry visiting Las Vegas for the big trade shows, come to Couture at the Wynn and say hello to me at Salon 137, the Contemporary Jewelry Design Group booth, in the Lafite Ballroom. My right-hand woman Eryn and I will be happy to show you the full collection and explain…
Good Times at Metal & Smith
The Metal & Smith jewelry show took place on Monday, and a good time was had by all! If you’re looking for an event space in Manhattan, I recommend the Mercantile Annex: I love a modern-looking venue with a white floor and white walls. Great natural light too! My right-hand woman Eryn and I introduced…

My JCK Las Vegas Street Style
It’s like the June JCK LUXURY trade show never ends: I didn’t see myself in JCK Magazine’s “JCK Las Vegas Street Style” feature until recently. I laughed out loud when I realized I was the only one of the 12 people interviewed who mentioned cocktail hour as a highlight. In the photo, I’m wearing a…
JCK LUXURY, Part II: Hanging With the Vegas Gems
Whew! So much has been going on that I’m just getting around to my second post on the JCK LUXURY jewelry trade show that took place in Las Vegas last month. To refresh your memory, here is Part I. Since that post, gorgeous blogger Becky Stone of Diamonds in the Library included me in a…
JCK LUXURY, Part I: I’m on the List(s)
I’m happy to say that I made two Top Ten lists for the JCK LUXURY jewelry show in Las Vegas! Both times, it was one of my Maneater rings that caught the writer’s eye. Anthony DeMarco, writing for Forbes, said that, “There was more variety than past years at the ‘Luxury’ jewelry trade show in Las…
