I am Deirdre and I have a really fun job of designing jewelry in my sunny Minneapolis studio. All the members of my company don't come to work here each day, but I bring them with me in my heart and mind. God is my President and I am blessed to have the support of my family and the delight of working with women I call my dear friends. I have learned to celebrate the simple things in life, and to mark the occasions that make us who we are. From these life lessons, I design jewelry. This helps me make sense of my world and communicate to those I love.

Necklaces Report

Handmade pendant necklaces can add flair to your wardrobe or be a simple statement of faith that you wear each and every day. The sterling Beloved is one of my favorites. It proclaims a statement that we all need ~ and love ~ to hear. You are loved!

Earrings Report

I love wearing earrings, so they are one of my favorite things to design. In these pages you will find crosses, doves, and hearts, along with more artistic renditions of Christian ideas that make great Christian Gifts. I think pearls are really cool too, but I am not your classic pearl kind of girl, so I have had fun designing simple but funky pearl earrings. Most of my earrings are sterling silver. ALL of my earring hooks are sterling silver.

Bracelets Report

I love stories of every kind. From reading a great story to hearing one told, stories add richness to life. These handmade bracelets crafted with beautiful, colored glass beads, pearls and sterling silver each have a story. Whether it is the story of your prayers to God or the story of an adoption, a story adds richness to a piece of jewelry that you choose to give away or to wear.

I loved shopping at a Rock Paper Silver. I was able to book a Private Shopping Appointment online to ensure that I would be the only one in the store. Deirdre and her associates are always friendly and (of course) wear masks too. As far as gifts, Deirdre has jewelry, key chains, some housewares. pretty much something for everyone on your list! It's the first place I look when I want a gift for a friend or something special for myself. Shop local Minneapolis! - Lisa Gustafson

Deirdre Handcrafted Jewelry has long been my go-to source for special gifts of faith given to my godchildren, family members, for baptisms and confirmations. Deirdre generously helped me acknowledge the incredible dedication of our church leadership team, with her "blessing others pricing". For a milestone ministry anniversary, the congregation gave me the Mexican cross she designed, which I wear daily.

When I accidentally broke the chain, she had it repaired and sent back to me in days. Deirdre gets 10 stars for beautifully crafted jewelry and customer care. You can shop and purchase her jewelry will full confidence! Rev. Christine Chiles

Rock Paper Silver rocks! I have had several custom silver and pewter charms made as appreciation gifts. The designer, Deirdre expertly crafted them to be beautiful pieces people are proud to wear without looking logo-y. Several recipients have told me the charms we had created by Rock Paper Silver are their favorite jewelry to wear (I agree!). I've also had customized personal gifts created and enjoyed off-the-shelf pieces from their beautiful shop. In addition to the beauty, Deirdre is highly professional in communication and follow through. Enjoy!

Have bought Deidre's silver for years. Her workmanship is above all. So creative, inspiring and fun! Glad she now has the shop to showcase so many other great local artists as well. This shop is one of a kind and a must see!

I love this small business! Service and selection are great - I get lots of compliments on my jewelry and recipients love my cards and gifts! Currently, I love my Monarch Butterfly Necklace; but I reserve the right to choose a new favorite whenever Deirdre creates a new piece.

I fell in love with Deirdre's creativity and spirit at a venue years ago. Since then, I've followed her to various craft shows, open houses, and now to this wonderful store! I've also loved Marva's work for a long time, and am so happy to find it here. And always finding new works, new ideas and new artists!

This locally owned shop is a gem. I wanted to find a special gift for my niece's confirmation. There were a number of options to choose from and the sales service staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Great shop with handmade special gifts to mark special occasions.

Beautiful jewelry. I get compliments on all my pieces from Rock Paoer Silver wherever I go. To be able to have custom jewelry made for a good price is a rare find. Couldn't recommend it more!

Rock Paper Silver has great gifts for my wife. The jewelery is simple yet beautiful. The cards and other art work make it so much more than just a jewelry store. I love the artist is right on site so you can see her studio too.

Absolutely beautiful custom and handcrafted jewelry. I have had three different logo jewelry pieces created by Deirdre and Company (Rock Paper Silver). Each time has been a joy to work with her from communication to design through completion. Recipients always comment on how special these pieces feel, not overtly "logo-y" and they are proud to wear them. Almost every day, I enjoy wearing one of the pieces and appreciate the nice conversations they ignite.
