On September 1 and 2, meet designer Jamie Joseph and snag her one-of-a-kind, hand-cut stones. Come September 15 and 16, Irene Neuwirth sweeps in with her newest collection, inspired by a recent trip to Spain. Finally, on September 29 and 30, Ten Thousand Things designers David Rees and Ron Anderson will show their organic, over-the-top wares (972.980.0819; ylang23.com) … Bling takes a benevolent turn as Sue Gragg (of Sue Gragg Precious Jewels) and Trisha Wilson (of The Wilson Foundation and founder of design firm Wilson & Associates) team up to create a black-onyx and sterling-silver charm bracelet, with all the profits supporting education and healthcare for children in South Africa. The charitable arm candy has a $125 price tag and can be purchased via thewilsonfoundation.orgHotel ZaZa is toasting yet another accolade as ZaSpaDr. Vu T.
