Lucky you........

It's quite common for us to have a lucky article of clothing we wear to give us extra confidence or that makes us feel a little special. Whether you'd like a little more luck in your life or just like to know the meaning behind your jewelry the following critter pieces should interest you:



Beetles are probably not the first animal you would associate to luck, but the ancient Egyptians highly regarded these creatures for their ingenuity and how the scarab utilized the sun's energy.


Vintage Scarab Silver Pendant Necklace- $160






Fish represent a positive symbol in many cultures. The ancient Egyptians also saw fish as gold luck symbols and the Romans used tokens of fish for good luck in courtship and marriages. In Asian cultures the fish, especially goldfish, is seen as a symbol of tranquility, wealth and long life.























Vintage Tassel with Glass Beads Necklace- $65




























Vintage "School of Fish" Necklace- $120





No need to take a poor rabbit's foot for luck, these little Peruvian earrings and charm are bound to bring you luck and delight. The Saxons viewed rabbits as a symbol of new beginnings and fortune as rabbits were the first signal of Spring to come after long winter months.


Hand-cut Peruvian Rabbit Earrings, $48, and charm, $20.






Looking for a new home or career? Maybe these little guys could help you out. Butterflies are the animals of metamorphosis and represent positive changes and new beginnings.

It's almost what I want....

Hi there-

Last week of August, how do we feel about that? NYC has never felt so mild right now and frankly we have no idea how to dress, luckily we look at jewels all day and not clothes...

This week we thought we'd tell you a story about a fabulous customer, she will remain nameless (yes you know who you are!). This customer is dear to our jewelry hearts as she has embraced rather wholeheartedly the 'customization' we offer here at WMJ! Wendy loves to work on a custom piece, whether it's for a bride, a special party or gift...it's a great opportunity for hidden gems to come out and be crafted into a one of a kind piece. We do know that budgets are so different for every customer and we are more then happy to make recommendations etc to suit what yours may be. This Gold Ball Beaded Chain above is one our classic styles and this very VIP customer just loves it. We have created it in a few color-ways so far but this week Wendy may have triumphed over the rest with this Labradorite Gray Pearl beauty below!

We hope you enjoy the rest of this week, please email Cerena on store@wendyminkjewelry.com if you would like to 'tweak' any of our styles into a one off beauty for yourself! Stay in touch for a very fun shopping evening coming up with a mini sample sale and discounts on current styles, look out NY ladies!

Wendy's Fall Wish List....

p.s. next week we will have a Fall 'preview' giveaway on the blog! stay posted and enjoy the rest of your week.

Mad Again

Like many others, we at WMJ are obsessed with Mad Men. With the latest season premier a few weeks ago and Mad Men fresh on my mind, I started to notice how several of our vintage pieces remind me of the Mad Med women we love.


Let's start with my favorite redheaded bombshell secretary, Joan. I'm in love with her pen necklace and how she usually pairs it with a sophisticated pin.





















































Up next is another one of the office gals, Peggy Olson. Still trying to find her own in the ad industry, Peggy's style is more simple and classic. These simple but sweet everyday pieces would go well with Peggy's wardrobe.
































Once model, now disillusioned housewife Betty Draper carries herself with poise and beauty no matter the situation. These stunning pieces remind me of Betty's gorgeous attire.


















































All these pieces are available in the Wendy Mink Vintage section of the store. Call (212-260-5298) or e-mail(store@wendyminkjewelry.com) for more information. Whether you have Mad Men parties to attend or just adore vintage jewelry, these pieces are bound to put a little hop( or in Joan's case shake ) in your step.
