📚 For the Love of Books & Baubles: Monthly Reads Paired with Jewelry

Over the holidays, I was a vendor at a number of shows and found myself returning again and again to conversations about my love of vintage—both in books and in jewelry. Each carries a sense of history, character, and story, and it sparked an idea to begin pairing meaningful designs with the books that inspire them.

In honor of Dry January, I’m starting with The Lost Vintage by Ann Mah, paired with a necklace made from vintage links sourced from France. It felt like a natural match.

The Lost Vintage is a richly atmospheric, dual-timeline novel set in present-day Burgundy and World War II–era France. When Kate, a sommelier studying for her Master of Wine exam, returns to her family’s vineyard for the harvest, she uncovers a long-hidden cellar filled with rare wine, resistance pamphlets, and secrets tied to her great-aunt’s past. As Kate pieces together this history, the story explores love, loss, moral choices, and the secrets families carry across generations—inviting readers to savor not just wine, but the layered complexity of history itself.
