Girls Just Wanna Win Swag: Rock Paper Silver
The winner of last week’s Buster and Boo giveaway is Janet.
This week’s featured company is Rock Paper Silver. Owner Catherine says she creates fun, affordable, classic jewelry for her shop. “I primarily work with Swarovski crystal cause nothing sparkles like a Swarovski crystal, semi-precious stones for their interesting colors and shapes, and intricate, vintage-esque charms which give my pieces a classic and timeless quality. In most of my pieces I use jewelry wire…free forming it around crystals and stones or creating hand beaded chains.”
Catherine says her inspiration simply comes from life. “I know this sounds kind of cliché but it is true. I never know when inspiration for a new design will hit. I enjoy working and creating wearable uniqueness. When I sit down to create, I never know exactly what will turn up, but I do make sure what ever it is, it is wearable and fun.”
“I am a designer and creator at heart with a passion for jewelry. To me, wearing jewelry is like a shot of confidence. It makes you feel stronger, more pulled together, beautiful, and special. I created Rock, Paper, Silver with this underlying mantra. The pieces in my collection are simple yet special. Some are even a little whimsical yet wearable. Each is created as a subtle statement piece, made to be noticed but in a non-obtrusive way.”
Catherine says being asked to make custom orders for weddings has been the most rewarding part of Rock Paper Silver so far. “I have done some orders both for brides and their bridesmaids, and love the fact that I made this very important day in their lives a little brighter and more beautiful. It is also very touching to be a part of Etsy, a community based entirely on valuing everything handmade. There are so many very talented artists, and I am very happy and honored to be swimming in the same pond!”
When Catherine is not making jewelry, you can find her riding her motorcycle, watching documentaries, reading historical fiction, cooking and baking, and snuggling with her husband. “I am a hopeless romantic at heart,” she says.
“One of my favorite sayings is ‘Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but rather by the moments that take our breath away.’ I try to live my life that way.”
Win It
Catherine is offering one lucky winner a pair of Chic earrings. “These earrings were created using my signature wire wrapping and hand beading technique, and feature jet black baroque Swarovski pendants and vintage pure white faceted beads. The stark black and white palette is so timeless, yet so fresh and, well, Chic,” she says.
