About the author: Wendy was president and designer of Wendy Gell Jewelry, Inc., in the 70s and 80s, an international fashion and costume jewelry business based in New York City and Key West. After a long absence, her encrusted and whimsical designs are again turning up and turning heads on Wendy’s website wendygell.com and galleries across the country, on the cable airways of QVC television, and coming in May at the Crown Jewels in Las Vegas at the Monte Carlo and Mandalay Resorts Casino. Her visionary jeweled panels and canvases are re-creating an ancient Byzantine art form.
