Wonderful Jewelry and Hair Pieces!

I met Barbara at a tasting at my venue, Hotel Providence. From the moment I met her, she was so warm and welcoming, and I knew I had to visit her shop in Providence. I went with my mom to find a hairpiece for me, and she was super helpful and so, so nice. She let me try on whatever I wanted, and I left with a gorgeous piece I can't wait to wear on my wedding day! I definitely recommend reaching out!

Wonderful Experience

I bought a necklace, earrings, bracelet and hair piece from Barbara for my wedding. Everything was reasonably priced and it was so nice that Barbara was so friendly and helpful! I ended up having to move my reception to 2021 but was still able to get married in 2020. I was so thankful that I had gotten these pieces because they really made me feel beautiful on my wedding day (2020). I was lucky enough to be able to wear them again a year later at the reception and they still looked just as beautiful. Since my wedding, I have gotten the opportunity to wear some of the pieces to friends’ weddings and bridal showers. They really are universal! I would absolutely recommend Perception Jewelry to anyone looking for some beautiful pieces!
