Buy Kim Cattrall's Sex and the City 2 Earrings

Filed under: Jewelry

The "Sex and the City 2" tie-ins just keep coming. Hotels are busting out the themed packages and brands like Möet & Chandon Champagne will appear in the movie and sponsor special events. But my favorite tie-in comes from jewelry designer Wendy Brandes whose snaky gold shoulder-grazing Cleopatra earrings appear on Kim Catrall (Samantha) in the movie. According to Brandes' blog if you want the exact pair of gold and diamond Cleopatra earrings from the movie, they will be available at Broken English Jewelry in Santa Monica, California. You can buy an un-Catrall worn pair for $7,250 from the Wendy Brandes website or pick up a silver version for $450.

A little shopping inspiration can be found in New York City when jewelry designer and fashion blogger Wendy Brandes will open a popup store in the West Village for two days this holiday season. The Wendy Brandes popup store will be open on November 20th and 21st from 12:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at 48 Greenwich Avenue near Perry Street. Wendy will be on hand both days to showcase her detailed handcrafted pieces. Hear straight from Wendy about the rich and witty inspirations for each unique piece. In addition to being a talented designer Brandes has an abiding love of history which manifests in unique pieces like a tiny sarcophagus that opens to reveal a mummy with diamond eyes or her popular poison rings which have secret compartments. Her collections have been inspired by a variety of historical figures including an Anglo-Saxon Queen, an Empress of Rome and the Queen of Scots.

The Wendy Brandes Popup Store will also have styles from her friend Zang Toi's collection available for shoppers interested in clothing to go along with their jewels. Zang Toi established the "House of Toi" collection in New York in 1989, and was awarded the 1990 Mouton Cadet Young Designer of the Year award, which recognizes the top young US designer of the year. Over the years, his design has evolved from the bright and decadent of the 1990s to the timeless yet modern lines of the turn of the country.
