Shopping for stylish, expensive looking jewelry for a fair price is a challenge. Barbara's studio was full of a variety in sizes, styles, and pricing which made shopping stress free. I loved how helpful and encouraging she was when I was deciding on what to pick. I valued her opinion and she made me feel special throughout the whole experience. I bought one of a kind earrings for an unforgettable prom.

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!

Beautiful Wedding Jewelry

Barbara created beautiful earrings for all of my bridesmaids. It was an excellent value. The earrings came in a cute gift box with a bow. She was very responsive and the order arrived quickly. It felt great to support someone local. The quality and price were better than what I have found online. She also makes beautiful pieces for the bride. I can't wait to give these beautiful earrings to my bridesmaids. Highly recommend!!!
