Brent Neale’s Whimsical Jewelry Makes Wonderful, Luxe Presents
The New York jeweler’s designs aim to put a smile on your face….


A person of our acquaintance—no names please!—has been loudly hinting to her husband for at least the last year that what she really, really wants this holiday season is an iconic three-stone ring from the New York jeweler Brent Neale. Our friend is not alone in her desire. Neale’s fans are like that: fiercely covetous, wildly appreciative, and when it comes to gifts, eternally hopeful.
“I find that our clients are looking for special pieces that they can’t get everywhere, something that puts a smile on their face. We need all the smiles we can get,” Neale says. The designer, whose creations have quickly elevated her to cult status, is a woman of distinct moods. There are those stunning three-stone rings, of course, but there are also many designs that hark back to the sunny, pop-art aesthetic of the 1960s—gem-studded magic mushrooms, enamel doors-of-perception portal pendants, and even a cannabis tiara that employs gold, diamonds, and malachite. (Kooky winter wedding head-piece, anyone?)
There is a cheerful sophistication to Neale’s work, maybe because a love of New York permeates her designs. “All our pieces are made here. Could we make our pieces overseas and make a larger margin? Yes, we could. But the amount of people that work on them and the businesses we support by keeping our production here I find is so gratifying. So when you are buying a piece from us you are in turn supporting the New York City jewelry industry.”
Wherever you live, Neale thinks her Hamsa earrings and mushroom pendants make perfect presents—and may we also suggest tiny bejeweled unicorn studs! Hummingbirds in flight! Gemstone heart signet rings! Turquoise star pendants with pink sapphire centers! Or maybe something from her latest collection—a panoply of Frank Stella-influenced rainbows, both sober and optimistic. “It’s not a candy-colored rainbow,” Neale explains, “because I think we still have a lot to work through. But it’s still a rainbow nonetheless. Good things are coming—I truly believe that.”
Yes, good things are coming—not just, if you are in luck, a Brent Neale gift this December, but a wonderful new era inaugurating in 2021.

Cardi B’s $60K Birkin Bag Gets The ‘Mommy Treatment’ As Daughter Unleashes Her Creativity

In a moment of relatable frustration, Cardi B took to Instagram to share a funny yet surprising story about her expensive $60,000 Birkin bag, one of her favorite items from her luxury collection. Known for her bold personality and honest social media posts, Cardi revealed that one of her daughters had turned the fancy purse into a makeshift canvas, drawing a heart on it without permission. “Look what my daughter did to my purse,” Cardi said dramatically in her Instagram Story, showing off the iconic bag to her followers. “I literally spent $60,000 on this purse,” she exclaimed, still amazed by the unexpected ‘artwork’ from her little girl.
Although she was frustrated, the mom of three tried to take it all in stride, at least for the moment. Cardi values her hard-earned luxury items, especially her growing collection of high end bags. However, as any parent knows, kids have a skill for creating chaos even in the most cherished parts of life. For Cardi, that chaos includes her high-priced accessories. The post quickly gained attention online, with fans sympathizing with Cardi’s situation. Many found humor in the irony of the event, while others offered support, pointing out that such moments are just part of the unpredictable journey of parenthood. Cardi has previously emphasized that family is her top priority, even if it means dealing with some messiness.

But Cardi’s frustration didn’t stop there. She later took to Twitter to respond to comments made by Kanye West regarding her staying power in the spotlight. While she didn’t mention him directly, her tweet, “7 years 1 album… STILL being a topic and STILL being asked about my music!!!” sent a clear message. She confidently asserted her spot in the entertainment world, clarifying that her fans, known as “The Brim,” are not going anywhere. In the end, whether it’s a damaged Birkin bag or dealing with critics, Cardi B repeatedly shows that she remains unfazed by the ups and downs of fame, always staying true to herself and her family.
