Paige was phenomenal to work with, and I highly recommend her for any vintage-inspired jewelry you want to have made. She also offers a vintage jewelry finding service if you're looking to find something authentically vintage, but I was okay with replication.

As someone entirely clueless about how jewelry is made, I was happy to find her so patient with the many questions I posed. When some of my initial ideas turned out to be impractical from a jewelry-making standpoint, she offered great alternatives. When I changed my mind about what I wanted for the earrings (before ordering them, but during our ongoing dialogue) - originally wanted a button/cluster-ish earring, but later decided to go dangly - she didn't put up a fuss and was happy to offer her advice. And when I realized I hadn't been clear about the shape of pearl I wanted dangling at the end, she was kind enough to accommodate my request with some teardrop pearls she had on hand. Once the earrings (and bracelet - which is exactly what I wanted; picture here: http://www.etsy.com/listing/74212239/pearl-cluster-bridal-bracelet-gold) were done, she shipped them off, and I received them just a couple days later.

Now I just have to make sure I hold off on wearing them until the wedding in October! (Although one of the things I love about her style is that I the earrings and bracelet are glam enough for my wedding but I will still be able to wear them to other, non-wedding events.) And now that I've worked with Paige on a custom piece, I would have zero hesitation recommending her to friends ... or working with her again for other custom jewelry of my own!
