Handcrafted jewelry designer, John S. Brana enjoyed an entertaining evening with his publicist, Karri Ann Frerichs of Altitude Promotions, and fellow fine accessory designer, Klaus Lange while mingling with other wine enthusiasts at Bloomingdale’s in San Francisco, May 14th. This event was hosted by celebrity event styling expert, Wendy Creed and St. Francis Winery sommelier, Chris Silva.

Brana, Frerichs and Lange were treated to a sampling of summer dishes prepared by Bloomingdales while event stylist Wendy Creed described interesting ways to entertain summer guests with her A-list event secrets. Silva, St. Francis Winery sommelier, explained just how to pair wines with each dish and how to bring forth the many flavors present in each glass. The event concluded with a Bloomingdale’s tour of specific set designs created by Creed for the event ideas described to the guests.

Looking for Inexpensive Jeweler’s Saw Blades for your Chainmail Production?

I go through Jeweler’s Saw Blades like crazy when I make jump rings. Saw blades normally run $13.00+ a piece and can drive up production costs very quickly, so if you seriously produce jumprings for chain and chainmail, here’s a great source for inexpensive replacement blades.

Enco Industrial Supply currently sells them for $5.12 a piece for 1 1/4 blades and offers blade sizes from 1 inch to 4. Make sure you accurately measure your blade before ordering.

Hope this helps!
