Hello readers-

The blog auction will run through to Monday the 1st at 3pm so make sure you check in again after you bid in case someone has outbid you!

There is no better way to enjoy the hot summer nights than to cool off outside with a delicious cocktail in hand and a fabulous cocktail ring on your finger! In honor of our boutique's upcoming Jewelry Cocktail Hour (we will keep you posted- expect jewelry discounts with some delicious drinks!), we have put together some sweet summer cocktail recipes we are dying to try, along with some stunning jewelry to coordinate. We were inspired by the vivid colors in these cocktails and found similar hues in the jewelry, and thought they looked too sweet not to share with you all!
For questions on any of the below items, please call 212-260-5298 or email store@wendyminkjewelry.com
Cheers!

Here at WMJ we are pretty good with jewelry, so we left the cocktail recipes to the pro- all recipes via marthastewart.com
