“Jewelry’s greatest value comes not from intrinsic materials or brilliant designs but from the emotions we invest.”
~Madeleine Albright, from “Read My Pins”
Passion
Luck and Lockets is the dream-turned-reality of founder Yvonne, a former NYC lawyer whose heart was always devoted to antique jewelry and the thrill of the hunt. In 2018, she made her passion her profession and the rest, as they say, is her story still unfolding. Yvonne personally selects each jewel — often traveling the world to do so — seeking out unconventional beauties, intriguing back stories, and bygone craftsmanship.
Expression
We curate our collection to be worn, touched, and loved — not tucked away in a box. Jewelry is about self-expression; we believe in and encourage experimentation and individuality. We search for jewelry that pleases the eye, feels great on the body, sparks curiosity, and stirs emotion. We truly love every jewel we offer — and would be excited to add to our 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 we 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.
