Paper Moon Jewelry


Hello, and thanks for visiting! Paper Moon features unique handmade jewelry made from paper. The finished product has several coats of thick glaze, is super shiny and actually resembles glass or ceramic.




Making the jewelry is a multi-step process. First, I choose the paper that I'd like to work with. I have a large supply of paper created all over the world. Many of them are handmade, stencil-dyed or silk screened. I cut the basic shape and apply several layers of a very thick shiny glaze. Each layer of glaze needs time to dry in between coats. I drill holes in the new "beads" and then, create each piece. I use all sterling silver or gold-filled findings as well as glass accent beads for extra sparkle!

I have been selling jewelry to friends and collegues and I've also had success at craft fairs. My vision for this site, is to be able to share some pictures, and allow people to place orders and make purchases. You will be able to either select from pictures of ready made pieces, or customize jewelry based on your personal style and preferences.



My plan is to fully develop this site over the summer. So, for now please take a look and email if you are interested in placing an order. Let me know what type of jewelry you are looking for. Are you interested in earrings, a necklace, or a bracelet? Is there a certain style featured in any of the pictures that you prefer? What colors do you like to wear? I can either send you a bunch of pictures for you to select from, or we can work together to customize the perfect piece for you!
