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.
