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…

Create Your Own Heirlooms With Fine Jewelry
“… it’s fun to wear, it has lasting value and it connects people across generations.” Hmm. What could that describe? A top from H&M? The latest iPhone?

What Wendy Wore: Vienna Mission Accomplished!
We had to take our photos at night this time, but yesterday MrB and I managed to recreate our throwback pictures from our long-ago trip to Vienna.

Throwback Thursday: Vienna Back in the Day
MrB and I are currently in Vienna, attending the Global Editors Network Summit on media innovation. My No. 1 goal while here is to re-enact a photo from our last visit here, many years ago. This was probably taken in 1999 or 2000. I, of course, was the immature individual who decided the sign looked…
