Ivanka Trump Made A Big Order From A Top Jeweler. Their Response Is PRICELESS
By Natalie Dickinson
Posted on August 18, 2016


The Lady Grey jewelry company taught the world a lesson in responsible business – something that Republican nominee Donald Trump could certainly do – when his daughter Ivanka went to order a custom-made ear-cuff from the world-famous makers of luxurious accessories.

Jill Martinelli and Sabine Le Guyader, the designers of Lady Grey jewlery, were quite happy to prepare her order for her, but not so happy to accept her money. Instead, they took the profits from her ear cuff and donated them to The American Immigration Council, the Everytown for Gun Safety Organization, and the Hillary Clinton campaign, letting the world know with this post on Instagram.

2. Sweet!

[central scrutinizer]

3. I hope they waited until the check cleared

Trumps are infamous for stiffing people, kiting checks, outright grifting.

[George II]

8. Was about to say something very similar. They should be on cash-in-advance status.

9. Any business dealings with the Crotch Grabbing Slab of Rancid Meatloaf...

...or his demon spawn should be accompanied with a 500 page contract that basically says fuck you Donald, you will pay for our goods and services, and you will not weasel out of it either.

[11 Bravo]

12. Fuck a bunch of checks! The only payment I would accept ...

from any Trump is cash that had been certified by a Treasury agent.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

14. I wanted to say a slovak joke here, but

Clearing slovaks is always hard, especially if they have the puck.

21. Two European hikers

Were attacked and eaten by bears. The game wardens found their effects and determined they were a woman from Budapest and a man from Prague. They killed the two bears and opened up the she-bear, finding the remains of the woman. They concluded that the Czech was in the male.

[Fritz Walter]

33. Slovenia =/= Slovakia

Yes, they're both in Eastern Europe. But there's this tiny, little country called Hungary that keeps them apart. Millennia/Melanoma/Melancholy is from Slovenia.

And the Czech Republic is yet another country, whose citizens are way too polite to correct US citizens who can't or won't learn these subtle distinctions.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

34. Ahem. It was a pun on Czech

[whathehell]

35. Touche!

[TrekLuver]

4. This is amazing !!!

[marybourg]

5. I might not have characterized my own

behavior as "generous", but otherwise a good move, although I'm sure then last order from the tRumps.

[sarcasmo]

6. Is this for Ivanka's new, Rebel Flag line?

[Moonwalk]

7. She probably wants the ear cuff to wear at the inauguration....

...that everyone close to dad is sure he's going to win.

10. Ear cuffs?

How about some custom made handcuffs for after Donnie's rape trial?

[millard filmore]

15. Ear cuffs?

As disappointed as I am, there will not be a criminal rape trial for Trump. This court case is a civil matter, and the meeting before the judge is only about whether the judge will allow the case to proceed, since it is so far beyond the statue of limitations.

In addition, I think the plaintiff has withdrawn the suit. Oh well, if the lady cannot sue, maybe she will get a good book deal out of this.

[lindysalsagal]

18. Ear cuffs???

WTF??

I have absolutely no clue what an ear cuff is. Do they mean ear muff???

[DRoseDARs]

19. Ear cuffs...

...go back several millennia. They aren't remotely a new thing. Instead of piercing, they can gently clamp onto the ear and rest inside the folds.

[whathehell]

36. I guess some of us have been clueless for several millennia then..

because I never heard of them either.

[Crash2Parties]

20. No, it was an $84 ear cuff - think, like a cuff bracelet except it goes on the curl part of your ear

And yes, she had to pay in advance (or used a credit card, but at least Jill Martinelli and Sabine Le Guyader got paid for their work).

[DRoseDARs]

23. I'm sorry, but what a dull piece. Literally could have used a noodle and gold spray paint.

And how apropos is it that it's one of the least expensive offerings? They have much better pieces in their collection, heaven forbid she spend a little more for something nicer.

[Hortensis]

29. Boy, for someone who has it all, she can't win, can she?

Lol.

Thanks for the ear cuff explanation, Crash2parties. Ears are not exactly our most attractive part up there. I'm kind of surprised people would want to draw attention to them side on, but whatever. More product to buy and sell.

[3catwoman3]

37. t looks like a piece of s[ray-painted macaroni...

...from those Mother's Day necklaces that kindergartners make.

[DK504]

11. HAhahahahahaaha

Who the hell still wears ear cuffs??? Ha ha....didn't they go out 30+ years ago??

Go Lady Grey!!!

[YOHABLO]

13. "Responsible Business" ? Really ? Looks to me like they got some free advertising.

Sorry for the cynicism. But you have to admit, I now know who Lady Grey is. Never heard of them before. Next time I'm ready to unload some cash for some useless item of jewelry maybe I'll check them out. You know, cause they're such ''Responsible'' business people.

[DRoseDARs]

17. Dude, 5 seconds on Teh Googletron...

Take it down a notch.

https://www.ladygreyjewelry.com/pages/about-us

Jill Martinelli and Sabine Le Guyader met while studying Sculpture and Metals at Massachusetts College of Art, and quickly bonded over their paralleled backgrounds in the dental industry- each had learned the basics of jewelry making while working in prosthetic dentistry and orthodontics as teenagers. In contrast with their one-of-a-kind, gallery-minded curriculum, the girls aimed to create a fashion forward jewelry collection that would bring their progressive design philosophies to the ready-to-wear market. In 2007 they moved to New York to follow this dream.

Lady Grey released their first collection in 2009, and within just months it had been featured in worldwide publications including ELLE, Harper’s Bazaar, W, and Vogue Japan, and launched with the most coveted retail outlets such as Bergdorf Goodman and Selfridges. That same year, Lady Grey brought home Gen Art’s “Designer of the Year” International award in accessories.

The designers retain the signature Lady Grey aesthetic through their distinctive use of materials and bold structures, steadily evolving with each collection. With their FW15 collection, they find beauty through the pairing of unlikely components, contrasting elements and illusive compositions. Pieces featuring flawed, earthy Pyrite cabochons set side by side with pear cut, brilliant, manmade Swarovski Crystals create an unlikely harmonic union. Elements of surrealism, hands and arms in positions contrary to all reasonable expectations, embellished with handmade chain tassels flowing from the wrist, prove to be as beautiful as they are enticing. All pieces in their collections are designed to be striking when worn alone, or layered in multiples to create unlimited and unique compositions and stories. Their balance of beauty and bravado, with ingenuity and wear-ability, has garnered Lady Grey focused attention from top publications such as The New York Times, ELLE, Marie Claire, Vogue, and Purple magazine.

Lady Grey is currently selling in over 30 luxury retailers worldwide, throughout the U.S., United Kingdom, Europe, Asia and Australia. Celebrity fans include Beyonce, Rihanna, Elizabeth Olsen, Rose Byrne, Solange, Selena Gomez, Grimes, and Emilia Clarke, among others.

24. You seem to have a problem with someone turning the tables on the Trump family.

I think it's nice.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

25. I hope this is true. When people stand on principal and refuse to accept some evil bastard's money,

I always wish they would do something like this instead.

[Lotusflower70]

26. Way to go Lady Grey

Nicely done. Stay classy.

[riversedge]

30. oh -that was nasty. te he

[TonyPDX]

31. Sometimes you make your stand not when you want to , but when the opportunity presents itself.

Timed perfectly, Jill and Sabine. Well done!

[lastlib]

32. That gonna leave scars!

Ouch! Terrific rejoinder!

[DFW]

39. I did something similar almost 15 years ago

When Cheneybush put through their first big irresponsible "tax relief," I immediately got a $300 check from the Treasury Department.

I endorsed it on the back "Pay to the order of Democratic National Committee," scanned it, sent them a copy and sent the original to the DNC in Washington.

The DNC said thanks. The Cheneybush administration forgot to comment, for some reason.
