You know what they say – wear your own creations. If you don’t wear them, nobody else will. Wendy Brandes did more. Back in 2004 when she started her business, Wendy designed her own engagement and wedding rings. The rest is history still being written.

Strongly influenced by the stories of fascinating women, whether they lived in the 16th century or the Swinging ’60s, Wendy creates pieces that are bold and eye-catching, yet feminine and organic. Mechanical pieces that open and close, unscrew or twist are her specialties. Browsing her shop is quite an experience – even if you can’t afford a sparkling piece of jewelry, you learn a little history.

But enough with talking. An image’s worth 1000 words, so voila! several gracious designs, from a gracious lady.
