Jewel of the Month: Hashtag Ring for #peoplewhotweet
Are you #addictedtoTwitter? Show your love by wearing my sterling-silver hashtag ring. Originally, the hashtag ring was only available as part of my four-ring swear-ring set, but due to popular demand, I’ve given it a solo role. (Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter at @WendyBrandes.) The swear-ring set previously led to two other designs:…
WendyB Earrings in W Magazine
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!

Fashion Advice for Halle Berry
I’ve got nothing bad to say about Halle Berry’s amazingly sex-ay look at Wednesday’s FiFi awards. My only thought is that if you have a body that’s THAT incredible, you shouldn’t bother with the dress! Wear nothing but your heels and a big smile. The world will thank you for it. The Halle photo is…

“Please Refrain From Using Ethnic Slurs”
I’ve mentioned a couple of times that I’m less politically correct than I used to be. It certainly would be difficult to watch nightly reruns of offensive-to-everyone Family Guy were I hypersensitive. Still, when dealing with the fashion world, I sometimes feel like I need to reiterate the warning that Will Ferrell, playing a beleaguered…
Wendy Brandes in Crain’s New York Business
Eilene Zimmerman interviewed me about the jewelry biz for the latest issue of Crain’s New York Business. You can read the story here and leave Eilene a nice comment. The delightful Buck Ennis took my picture for the article. I’m not very comfortable in front of the camera unless I’m doing the WendyB pose, so…
