Lily Earrings

The lily has always been the symbol of spirituality, lasting unions and maternity. For this reason, lilies are a popular choice for bridal bouquets.

In the Middle Ages, the lily became associated with the Virgin Mary. Paintings of the Annunciation – the announcement by the archangel Gabriel to Mary that she would conceive and be the mother of Jesus – often depict Gabriel giving the blessed Virgin Mary a lily, in honour of her purity.

Winter In July

MJ was born and raised in South Korea, and her birthday in July was always in the middle of summer, thus ‘Winter in July’ was born from the biggest change in her life - moving to Aotearoa, and celebrating her birthday in winter! She studied fine art and design in South Korea, and during her studies she travelled to New Zealand - quickly falling in love with the beautiful landscapes and lifestyle. And it wasn’t long she booked another ticket and ended up staying. After completing training at Peter Minturn Goldsmith School in Auckland, she continued to develop her skills, and now each piece of Winter in July jewellery is designed from scratch and totally handcrafted in her Auckland studio, where MJ strives to create beautiful pieces that bring joy to the wearer.
