Paige Taggart founded Mactaggart Jewelry in 2003, but she's been passionate about jewelry her whole life — playing with beads in her hometown of Healdsburg, California. Since then, her craft has evolved into a sophisticated art of counterbalance — juxtaposing stones of raw quality and refined edges with smoother elements. She also loves using vintage parts and pieces, which she reassembles and hammers to create lots of texture and romance.
