Marty Magic Hummingbird flies on HBO Boardwalk Empire

The costume consultant for Boardwalk Empire called me earlier this year and requested that I expressed a pair of my large Sterling Silver Hummingbird earrings to the studio. At first they were thinking of the small version but decided on the larger ones. I’ve never seen the show ( I don’t have television or cable).  The consultant would not tell me which character would be wearing them or which episode they would appear in.

Well, it looks like they have finally appeared. According to a customer, “the earrings were worn by the singer/actress, Billie Kent, that the main character Nucky Thompson was dating.. (She sings a song about a hummingbird in one of the episodes.) They are in 2 episodes.. In one episode she loses an earring… In another Nucky finds the earring after she dies.. (Not this past weeks episode but the 2 previous weeks.)”

If anyone has a picture of the hummingbird on the show, please let me know.

Marty Magic featured in Lapidary Journal

I just found out that Lapidary Journal published an article about me in their September October issue. The Lapidary Journal Jewelry Artist magazine is one of the oldest jewelry publications and I feel honored to be featured in it. The writer contacted me earlier this summer but I am surprised to see it has already been published.

Barbra Streisand wearing Marty Magic Tree Frog Pendant

Barbra Streisand is wearing my Tree Frog Pendant in her movie Guilt Trip, an upcoming American comedy film  starring Barbra Streisand and Seth Rogen to be released in December by Paramount Studios. I was first contacted by a Hollywood costume consultant over a year and a half ago. They wanted examples of my frog jewelry and eventually chose my Tree Frog Pendant in 14K gold to be worn by the frog loving mother. (Barbra image by Paramount)

Giant Pumpkins!

     

The Half  Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival was this past weekend.  It’s a hard show to do but I had both Alisha and Katie helping me.  We pulled into our space before 5:00 A.M. and needed head lamps to set up the jewelry in the dark.

      The weather was great and both the crowds and the pumpkins were huge!  My ear cuffs were our biggest seller, but a number of Bat and Witch charms flew off as well. This was the last show for my season and I was happy when the van was finally loaded on Sunday evening. Happy Haunting to all!

Seahorse Opal Pendant swims away

A Marty Magic collector recently purchased the Seahorse Opal Treasure Pendant from my One of a Kind collection. This work has been featured on my calling card. This graceful 18K gold Seahorse grasps an stunning 6.5 carat Mexican Fire opal treasure in the curve of its tail. A 3 mm Pariba Tourmaline accents the intoxicating blue green flashes emanating from the opal.
