I love to call these antique pieces “perfectly imperfect”- they have passed through many hands and many lives and bear the marks of such adventures.

I am fascinated with jewelry from the past- particularly lockets and fobs. These items were worn every day and held so much meaning to their owners. I am pleased to pass them on to a new life- to be cherished once again.

All WinterLemon pieces come gift boxed and gift wrapped because sometimes the best gift is for yourself!

Please remember that any antique or vintage pieces have led a past life and will most likely show signs of age and will not be in “new” condition.
