The Best Easter Egg Evah, Plus the Week in Review
Admittedly, I’m biased, but I think I have the best Easter egg evah (apologies to Faberge and the Russian royal family, but mine is wearable). My egg locket is made out of 18K yellow gold and it has a surprise inside. Look at the silver hen with her diamond eye! But why stop with one…
Easter Is Coming and My Bunnies Are Going
It’s time for the Easter bunny to bring me some delicious Cadbury Creme Eggs … in other words, I better get over to the drugstore and get myself some before they’re all gone. Something else that’s almost all gone: my silver bunny stud earrings. I have one pair left for immediate delivery. Click the photo…

Let Me Redesign Your Old Jewelry!
Dang! I wish Ginanne Brownell Mitic had spoken to me for this New York Times article about redesigning old jewelry. Redesigning is one of my specialties and I have interesting stories to tell.

The Wearing of the Green (Gems) for St. Patrick’s Day
I hated the color green for a long time. I wouldn’t consider wearing green clothes. Then, suddenly, something changed and I loved green. That might be due to Zang Toi, who got me into this gown for the 2006 Oscars. I suspect I couldn’t resist the matching peacock-feather fan. Once I committed to green, I…
