It's been good, 2012!

We hope everyone had a warm and loving holiday season! And that every gal got just the piece of jewelry she wanted :) It has been a whirlwind year here at Wendy Mink Jewelry... 
here are some of our favorite highlights:

Trend Forecasting:

It is never too early to think about upcoming trends in the fashion world, which is why we love rounding up the upcoming styles that are soon to be so popular in the next season. Wendy's collections are always a mix of her own aesthetic, classic timeless styles, and on trend colors and designs- the perfect blend if you ask us! We love finding how trends are represented in Wendy's latest collections. Let's take a look back to some of our favorite seasonal trends  we rounded up from off the runways and fit perfectly with Wendy's jewelry:

New Collections:

But seriously... is there ever anything more exciting? Our favorite time of year is when Wendy unveils her latest designs. So much sparkle! So much color! So much we want! I love seeing what Wendy and head designer Lobsang dream up in our studio. It is fascinating how they find color combinations, create intricate detail and unique shapes, as well as timeless designs and statement pieces galore- the best of it all, really! Take a trip down memory lane with the previews of Wendy's collections in 2012:

Store Windows:

We will be the first to admit: we get a little carried away with our windows in the store. We love dreaming up different ways to display the gorgeous colors in Wendy's jewelry while decorating and getting in the spirit of the season. Here are some of our favorites:

March 2012- Fresh blooms

April 2012- big and bright!
May 2012- Feelin' Wild!
June 2012- I'd rather be at the beach!
September 2012- Thriller
December 2012- Holiday!

Wendy's Inspiration:

We love seeing where Wendy gets her inspiration. She has always been passionate about Victorian details, Indian colors and Peruvian filigrees- and it is amazing to see how she translates these interests in her own line. Take a look and see how Wendy get's the creative juices flowing and finds her inspiration:

Peru

Style Icons
Turkoman 
Wendy's Garden


We have had an exciting year at Wendy Mink Jewelry- and we hope for a happy, healthy and prosperous 2013 for all! Here are some pieces that would look STUNNING on New Years Eve, 

let's go out with a bang!

Our gift to you...

...a preview of Wendy's latest collection! Think of it as an early (early, early, early) Spring preview. Wendy has been drawn to semi-precious stones in sky blues and ocean greens, and delicate layering chains with layered, organic, angular stones in juicy spring colors. This is looking to be her best collection yet! Take a look below as the new line comes together.










Please let us know if you have questions about any of the above items- most are available for purchase through our boutique before the line is even released online! Call 212-260-5298.

Holiday Windows!

The WMJ store has some fun and festive rustic holiday windows up this month with some gorgeous jewelry! All of the snow, trees, stockings and sleigh brings us right into the holiday spirit- plus those huge presents! 'Tis the season for giving after all! Our favorite part is the new vintage lockets we just got in. Take a look below and let us know what you think!








Busy being festive!

It has been a crazy few weeks here at WMJ! Here is what has been going on over at the WMJ store:

First our Holiday Sample Sale- which was a hit! Shoppers snatched up great deals on samples & some  older styles- all gorgeous none the less! 

Then we have been busy over at the store creating an AMAZING under $100 section for everyone! This section includes store exclusive styles ranging from $45-$90. Pretty amazing!





Wendy also created some gorgeous holiday ornaments (retailing for $7!) out of some of her classic cutout designs- these look beautiful on our store ribbon tree!


We hope everyone's holiday season is going well! Please let us know if you have any questions about the above items by calling 212-260-5298 and stay tuned for some holiday window shots!

Feelin' Thankful.

It is that time again! Time to look at the most beautiful turkey we ever saw- 
THE WENDY MINK JEWELRY TURKEY! 
Those czech glass feathers... emerald eyes... garnet wattle (Yes- that is called a wattle! We learn new things here every day...) and that filigree beak! Jewelry turkey aside, we want to thank YOU! Our amazing, loyal customers for helping to support our business! We heard from some of you after Hurricane Sandy, and we are so grateful you kept us in mind. Part of our thankfulness for all of you is to offer a fun small business sale this weekend!


Sale is offered in store and online. The best thing we can do while shopping this holiday season is remember to support small businesses, products made in our home of the U-S OF A, and to just be plain old thankful. And- maybe even do some shopping for yourself!

Happy Thanksgiving, from all of us here at WMJ!

employee picks!

This time of year everyone starts thinking of gifts for loved ones- but there is no harm in picking out some gifts you would like to receive as well! If you didn't already know, WMJ offers a "wish list", which means you can email us or stop by the store and tell us just which item you really want, and that way when you hint at your hubby that there was something you picked out- we can steer them right to what you want.  No more unwanted fruitcakes! So browse the website and stop by the boutique- and start making a list of your favorite things! 

Here are some of our employee new arrival favorites....
Susan loves these earrings! The baby hematite stones are so sparkly- they are perfect for the holidays!
 Susan also loves this necklace - it does all of the layering for you!
 This is Alicia's favorite necklace- she loves the different geometric shapes and mod look, and the colors would be great to wear during Thanksgiving!
Megan thinks this necklace would be perfect for holiday parties! The subtle sparkling stones in the back, the deep ruby red, and the gorgeous pendant would spark lots of conversation!
Megan also thinks this bracelet would be gorgeous to wear everyday- it will go with everything!
Last but certainly not least is Wendy's favorite WMJ arrival: the Holiday 2012 Empress necklace done in banded agate! She loves that it was something she designed for the Victorian Albert Museum, and she says she is always so inspired by the Victorian jewelry collection that they have there. As Wendy noted... "I love the marriage of Victorian and Indian design, where I get so much of my inspiration from."
