If you’re going to the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art tomorrow night and need some jewelry worthy of the “Punk: Chaos to Couture” exhibit, I suggest my “Screw You” mismatched stud earrings in 18K gold. I wear these in my double-pierced left ear with a gold Cleopatra snake earring or Matilda…

Customer of the Day: Tina Anderson
The customer of the day is the gorgeous Tina Anderson. Tina is a dear friend, the creator of the Wrinkly Slut cocktail, my #1 source for reality-television news (her Jersey Shore nickname is T-Wrexx), and one of the founding members of my Golden Girls Gang. Tina and I met around 2000, introduced by our mutual…
NYC Vice: Rings and Rap
When I introduced my swear ring set in 2008, people asked me why I chose to do four separate rings instead of one big ring that spanned four fingers. Actually, I got asked that question right up until last year, when a big fast-fashion retailer started selling the multi-ring look and suddenly it was okay….
I’m Not Worthy!
There was a 21st-anniversary reunion of the Wayne’s World cast last week. Reading about it, I realized that not only did the people involved in that movie have great taste in music — they had great taste in jewelry too. Check out this picture of Lara Flynn Boyle wearing a “WAYNE” necklace that’s exactly the…
Customer of the Day: Susan of Une Femme d’un Certain Age
I need to start a Customer Hall of Fame because it seems like a bit of an understatement to describe gorgeous blogger Susan of Une femme d’un certain age as a “customer of the day.” Susan has been a customer of mine since 2008, when she bid on the Diana heart necklace I was auctioning…
Customer of the Day: Tracylee Percival, the Nail Ninja
I’ve written a lot about celebrity manicurist Tracylee Percival on this blog, but I’ve never mentioned that she helps me with things beyond nail art. A lot of people try to give me ideas about how to promote my business. Tracylee is the only one — and I mean the ONLY one — who gives…
Thanks for the Emoji Earring Love
Big thanks to gorgeous blogger Marie Denee of The Curvy Fashionista, who wrote about my emoji stud earrings today. She said: “I mean, feeling like F the world? There is an earring for that. Need to be reminded that everything is okay? You guessed it, there is an earring for that!“ Thanks also to Hearty,…
Customer of the Day: Anne and Her Juana Skull Necklace
Today, gorgeous client Anne is modeling her sterling-silver Juana skull necklace with white sapphire eyes for us. Anne says she was drawn to Juana because “she’s a very refined take on an edgy theme.” She adds: “It’s just a really classic design, somehow, and I love her sparkly eyes. She looks like a carving from…
OMG! My Emoji Earrings Are on Style.com!
I’m so thrilled! My emoji stud earrings — April’s Jewels of the Month — have been featured on Style.com! A great big … … goes out to Katharine K. Zarrella for writing the piece. You’ll notice it mentions that I made up the middle-finger emoji. When I was looking for a hand model for that…
The Week in Review: Express Yourself
This week, most of my blog posts offered suggestions for how to express yourself stylistically. Monday: You could go the club-kid route and wear these ridiculous Jeffrey Campbell shoes (but I know you won’t). Tuesday: My new emoji stud earrings are clearly a better choice than rainbow platform shoes. Wednesday: Like my emoji designs but…
