How Wendy Mink Jewelry Has Carved Its Niche In The Industry

Historically, jewelry and fashion have always gone together. When we analyze a particular time in history, we find that various types of clothing and jewelry were popular. Adornments for the neck, the hands, the hair and the body have always played a big part as far as the fashion industry is concerned.

During historical times, silver had mystical allure, and was accorded greater importance than gold, often being associated with the moon, sea, and lunar goddesses. An alloy of 92.5% silver with copper to strengthen it is called sterling silver. Silver has unparalleled brilliance, being one of the highest reflectivities among metals; that makes it ideal for jewelry designs. Origin and purity of most silver is identified by stamping a mark on it. If you plan to add a piece to your collection, use the mark to determine its value.

Beauty conscious women have sought to embellish their looks with jewelry through history. The right combination of accessories and styles to complement looks are said to play an important role, too. Women with different preferences, tastes, looks, and budgets wear a variety of chains, bracelets, bangles, and necklaces.

Wendy Mink Jewelry is a New York City based company begun by Artist and designer Wendy Mink, 20 years ago, which has grown substantially, riding on great quality and workmanship with eclectic and innovative designs.

Wendy had a stint with the World Bank which involved extensive travel through South East Asia. Inspired by the craftsmanship and beauty of textiles and jewlry made in the region, Wendy began her own jewelry company, when she returned. She has since carved a niche for herself in the highly competitive jewelry industry.

A team of skilled Tibetan women employed to handcraft jewelry in the company's Greenwich Village based studio, have added their designs to Mink's own inspired ones, to contribute to the company's success. The company has also started a retail store linked to the studio. This enables its New York clients to buy from the company's recent collections.

Traditional Eastern world jewelry and classic European designs combine using sterling silver and 22k vermeil gold finish. Swarovski Austrian crystal, genuine semi-precious stones, and freshwater pearls add to the accents, in the range of products by Wendy Mink, which includes 50 varieties of earrings, 30 varieties of necklaces, bracelets and bangles.

International publications like Vogue, Elle, Marie Claire and Harpers Bazaar magazines have given substantial media coverage for Wendy Mink Jewelry.
