Today's guest Jane Winchester Paradis is the founder of Jane Win Jewelry! After working in fashion design and marketing for 20 years Jane left her corporate job with a dream to design beautiful jewelry with meaning. A Jane Win piece is a talisman for milestone moments and a reminder to focus on all you hope to achieve in life.
Starting a company at age 45 is not the path that many take. Jane had a robust career in design and fashion marketing, working for brands such as Adrienne Vittadini, Calvin Klein Cosmetics, Barneys New York, and Lilly Pulitzer. Jane decided to create a collection made up of 8 amulets symbolizing an abundance of positivity, strength, hope, and luck. I am inspired by coin jewelry of the 1900s which was functional, spiritual, and symbolic — it was a way to transport wealth, show prosperity and express generosity to others. When she started researching this gorgeous antique coin jewelry, she realized that wealth is not shown in money, cars, or fancy homes…my wealth comes from life experiences both good and bad. 
Jane and her team take great care to work with the first American craftsmen to cast high-quality pendants that we then plate in 14k gold with ‘the best in the business’. Last but not least, customers love their attention to detail. They package each piece in a beautifully printed box and are invested in delivering something special to every customer. It truly all comes from a LOVE of what they do and want to connect with those who wear their jewelry. 
Listeners will fall in love with Jane on today's Valentine's Day episode!
