“Jewelry’s greatest value comes not from intrinsic materials or brilliant designs but from the emotions we invest.”
~Madeleine Albright, from “Read My Pins”
Curation
Luck and Lockets is the dream-turned-reality of founder Yvonne, a New Yorker whose path began in law, but whose heart was always devoted to antique jewelry and the thrill of discovery. In 2018, she made her passion her profession and the rest, as they say, is her story, still unfolding. Each piece is personally chosen, often through travels, seeking out unconventional beauties, intriguing back stories, and bygone craftsmanship.
Expression
We curate pieces for you to wear, touch, and love — not just to admire in a box. Jewelry is self-expression! We believe in and encourage experimentation and individuality. We search for pieces that delight the eye, feel great on the body, and awaken curiosity and emotion. Every jewel we offer is one we would be proud to add to our own personal collection. Together, let’s rediscover old world jewels — and continue their life stories!
Creation
We also create original pieces inspired by the past but made for how you wear jewelry today. Our Molten Monogram pendant captures the look and feel of antique wax seals. Our Guiding Star medallion pays homage to a beloved Georgian chain motif. We’re especially proud of our signature Lucky 8 clasp and charm holder — inspired by Chinese numerology, the age-old ouroboros, and the infinity symbol. All work is done by skilled independent artisans.
