She earned the #1 Favorite Fashion Mover and Shaker in a recent poll:
And, what you should know most is that she has stunning jewelry like this exquisite Shades of Gemstone Sterling Silver European-Inspired Ring! It comes in two shades: green, which is Peachy's favorite color of course, and a purplish-pink hue which is absolutely gorgeous for Valentine's Day, so start shopping away if you really love the girl you're with!
It is as easy as clicking that link and getting out your credit card! Her jewelry is not about price, it's about value. We also highly encourage you to watch the video on the top left. You'll learn by watching it that the ring is a European inspired design (Carol worked with Faberge and this is a technique that they are using with their new collection of High Jewelry). A matching pendant is also available you'll see. And of course Peachy Deegan loves wearing this ring when she goes to Swifty's to drink The Peachy Deegan because when she puts her hand in front of the champagne glass the green hue of the drink accentuates these gorgeous stones.
Carol selected to do it green hues of gemstones to resemble perfectly cut fresh grass. Oh that takes Peachy back to the rolling green hills of Ireland! Also to days of playing field hockey at Miss Porter's School. When Carol was growing up, she used to love when the lawn was freshly cut on the first day of spring... It always meant that it was going to be a beautiful day!!

In 2005, CurtCo Media, publisher of Robb Report, Worth, Showboats International, Art & Antiques and a family of titles targeted to the world’s most affluent readers, appointed Ms. Brodie to the unprecedented position of chief luxury officer. This opportunity provided Ms. Brodie with the enviable opportunity of spearheading the positioning of CurtCo magazines as the preeminent voice of the international luxury marketplace. She built upon the foundation of the company’s ultra-affluent, market-leading brands through strategic partnerships, media exposure, events, promotions, marketing, public relations and communications.
Assuming this leadership role was a natural transition for Ms. Brodie, who joined the magazine publishing powerhouse after eight years as Global Director of Communications for world-renowned jeweler Harry Winston, Inc. In that position, Ms. Brodie has been credited with expanding the reach and image of the old-world brand to appeal to a younger clientele.
Her leadership and voice is regularly sought after by organizations and individuals who seek her knowledge and expertise on the global affluent mindset.

Throughout her career, she has appeared as an occasional guest and correspondent on Extra and as a style expert on E! Entertainment Television’s Style Court and ABC’s Extreme Makeover. Her frequent appearances on The Bachelor, The Today Show, Good Morning America, CBS This Morning, Extra, Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, Inside Edition, Today in New York, CNBC, CNN and Martha Stewart Weddings earned her the moniker, ”The Queen of Luxury.”
Prior to joining Harry Winston in 1997, Ms. Brodie spent four years as a partner at award winning advertising agency J. Walter Thompson, where she managed the Diamond Information Center on behalf of De Beers Consolidated Mines. Not just limited to diamonds, Ms. Brodie has helped build luxury and beauty brands such as Clairol, Revlon Professional Products, Maybelline, Henry Dunay Designs and Gucci Timepieces.
Ms. Brodie’s personal interests involve philanthropy, gemology and international travel. She maintains positions on the committees of several prominent charities including The Boy’s and Girl’s Club, The Chron’s & Colitis Foundation of America and the Food Allergy Initiative. She resides in Fairfield, Connecticut; Palm Beach, Florida and West Hampton Beach, New York with her husband, Stuart Gelles and their two children, Noah and Grant. Ms. Brodie keeps busy working on branding and business development for clients such as Ivanka Trump, Home Shopping Network, Barnes and Noble and the Nelson Mandela Trust created by Thanda, Africa’s leading luxury lodge.
