Indie band Boygenius wore jewelry from Lancaster County at Grammy Awards afterparty

There were little pieces of Lancaster at the official Grammy Awards afterparty earlier this month.

Indie supergroup Boygenius, composed of indie singer-songwriters Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus and Julien Baker, wore jewelry from Lancaster County small business Maejean Vintage to the Grammys’ afterparty.

Dacus wore a mid-century pearl ring, an antique diamond and pearl ring and a hummingbird brooch from Maejean Vintage. Bridgers wore an antique signet ring engraved with the name “Bruce,” and Baker wore a bracelet engraved with the name “Enid,” says Heidi Wurtz, social media coordinator with Maejean Vintage.

And “the boys,” as the band’s members call themselves, had a lot to celebrate while wearing those pieces of jewelry. Boygenius won three Grammy Awards, including Best Alternative Music Album for their album, “The Record,” Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance for their song “Not Strong Enough.” (Separately, Bridgers won a fourth award, Best Pop/Duo Group Performance, for her collaboration with SZA, “Ghost in the Machine.” Bridgers won more awards than any other artist at this year’s ceremony.)

Maejean Vintage previously worked with Boygenius’ stylist Lindsey Hartman for a photo shoot for actor and musician Maya Hawke, daughter of Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke.

“We’ll just reach out to the stylists of people we like, or that we’d love to see in our jewelry,” says Wurtz.

Wurtz says they sent pieces of jewelry for Hawke to wear for a magazine photoshoot that is slated to release in March. After Maejean Vintage and Hartman worked together, Wurtz says she mentioned the team would be thrilled to work with Boygenius, too.

Hartman took them up on the offer, Wurtz says.

Every day leading up to the Grammys, the team at Maejean Vintage would look to see if the members of Boygenius were wearing their jewelry.

While the band members didn’t wear them to the Grammy Awards ceremony itself, they wore them to the afterparty, Wurtz says. They also wore some of the jewelry to GQ’s Pre-Grammy Party, too.

“It’s just very cool, and one of the highlights of my career,” says Wurtz. “I work with the pieces every day. I take pictures. I market them. To have them worn by an indie band that I love, at such big events, it’s really, really cool.”

Most of the pieces that Boygenius members wore will return to Maejean Vintage’s store to be re-listed online and sold.

Maejean Vintage was founded in 2010 by sisters Laura Mae and Amanda Jean Hornberger. The company began as an Etsy shop selling vintage clothing, accessories and home decor before narrowing its focus to fine vintage jewelry.

Maejean Vintage isn’t the only Lancaster County jeweler being worn by celebrities; Lancaster-based jeweler Wove recently made headlines after making friendship bracelets for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
