What makes a piece of jewelry meaningful, and how does it become something we keep for a lifetime?
In this episode of Grandma's Silver, Allie Kochinsky speaks with Jane Winchester Paradis, founder of Jane Win, a semi-fine jewlery brand known for its symbolic coins designed to represent intention, identity, and personal milestones.
Jane shares her journey for a career in corporate marketing at Lilly Pulitzer to building a rapidly growing brand centered on meaning over trend. They discuss the philosophy behind her designs, why she believes people are seeking deeper connection to the objects they wear, and how jewelry can function as a modern heirloom, telling a story and carrying significance over time.
The two also explore the themes behind her recent collaboration with Giadzy, including ritual, gratitude, and the role of gathering in shaping memory and experience.
