Jewelry designed by Wendy Rachel has been featured in high-profile publications like Elle Girl, Style, and InStyle. Her earrings have been worn on E! News Daily and she`s quickly building a reputation for herself and her designs.

Wendy does bracelets, necklaces, and earrings with a variety of semi-precious stones. All items are hand made, and the designs change with the season, offering the latest trends and colors. Some of her designs are one-of-a-kind pieces, but all are at least part of limited quantity runs, ensuring that you won`t see your piece every time you turn around. My favorites include the Silver Goddess Pastel necklace ($433) and the blue topaz briolettes pictured here, 17.25 carats each ($374).

Part of the company`s marketing efforts include the "Bracelet of Hope." It`s a specially designed bracelet from which 20% of the profits go to breast cancer research in the United States and Canada. In addition to this, $1 from each sale of all other pieces in Wendy`s collection goes to breast cancer research.
