Good morning!

I gave Steve’s Mom the soaps, lotion and candles gift box you created and she LOVED it! She also really liked the pottery dishes that were in the package as well! I never looked at what you prepared in the gift box and just loved how it turned out! Everything is beautiful! Great choices!

Hi Paola.

I had such a great time at your place on Saturday!  I always have fun coming by your gallery and catching up. Just want to let you know how much I LOVE my sardonyx agate necklace!  I felt so good wearing it this past weekend, and of course I got several compliments.  And...I figured out how to position my crabfire and druzy agate necklace so that it stays in place while I wear it!  Woohoo! Thanks again, and I look forward to coming by again soon. 
Take care and enjoy! Lisa

Hi Paola,

My earrings came today and I have to say that you really outdid yourself. They are spectacular - the colors, the design and the workmanship are stunning. I do have a good idea of the skill and time that are involved in wire wrapping all those separate stones - and your work is truly exquisite. You are so talented and I am so glad I found you! 

Maybe I’ll move on to your cuffs next . . . who knows, Christmas will be here before you know it.

Thank you so much for these beautiful earrings and all your amazing jewelry.

Funny thing… I saw my daughter today and she gave me my Mother’s Day gift. They are a beautiful pair of earrings from you (as you already knew).

Im looking forward to wearing them!

Hi Paola.

My girls wore their new earrings on Christmas. It was just the 5 of us at home this year. We kind of dressed up a bit- not wearing pajamas- and your jewelry helped make us feel a little extra special! My mom was also surprised and LOVED the necklace I selected for her because she was not expecting anything like that. I packaged it perfectly with a beautiful white blouse and the gift looked so lovely!

Thank you for all of your help and all of your work! You are an amazing artist!

Best wishes.

Hi Paola!

I wanted to reach out to tell you how much I love the cuff bracelet Cindy gave me for my special birthday. It's really beautiful! Different from other work I've seen of yours. I put it on immediately and wore it all night .... and will wear it often. At least as often as COVID allows me to dress up a little. It's a piece I can wear with everything from jeans to dressy.

What's very special is that it's from Cindy, one of the most cherished and loved friends of my life .... and that you created it!

Hope you have a good season and year coming up. We'll be in touch later on next year. Till then, stay well and ALL THE BEST!!

11/02/2020- variscite w abalone center and green fw pearl cuff bracelet

*

Hi Paola.

Finally got to give Lynn the beautiful cuff you made. She absolutely loved it, as I knew she would. As soon as she saw the Pagio wrapping, she knew she was in for a treat. As you know, I’ve had the gift for awhile now and I really wanted to give it to her in person rather than sending it. It was driving me a little crazy because I was holding a gift I knew would be a big hit and with the present circumstances, visits are not as easy as they used to be. I was eager to see her reaction and I was not disappointed.

THANK YOU for helping me pick out the perfect gift for her!

Hi Paola.

Just delivered another pair of “birthday earrings.” My friend LOVED the dangling freshwater pearls and asked how I knew they were “her.” Then she reminded me that TEN YEARS ago I gave her a necklace you made. She was so happy to get another piece of your gorgeous work.
Last month I gave another friend the Prehnite, matte pewter, sterling silver, freshwater pearls. Another big hit!
I feel so lucky to be able to have you close by and be able to give a gift that is a piece of art and so appreciated by my friends.
Thank you, Paola!
