I’m delighted to be featured in River Gallery's 14th Annual Jewelry Invitational Exhibition. My friends at River Gallery have a special selection of my one-of-a-kind designs, including jewels featured on the red carpet at the Emmy Awards, the runways of New York Fashion Week and aboard the United Nations Peace Boat, in this beautiful group show.

This exhibition along with a stunning variety of artworks are on display throughout the holiday season.

River Gallery is dedicated to promoting and sustaining Cleveland area artists, and has established strong connections with local schools such as the Cleveland Institute of Art, Baldwin Wallace University, and Kent State University. A diverse range of artwork is showcased, including paintings, works in metals, blown glass, wood, ceramics, and jewelry fabrications.

Michelle Pajak-Reynolds

Michelle Pajak-Reynolds began designing jewelry at 5 years old after being inspired by the power bracelets and tiara worn by actress Lynda Carter in the Wonder Woman television series. And her history with jewelry goes back even further as her parents met and fell in love across a jewelry case; Michelle's mom was a jewelry department manager and her dad was a police officer.

As a young child, Michelle used her babysitting money to teach herself basic beading and wire-wrapping techniques with supplies from her local craft supply store. Her formal jewelry and metalsmithing training began in a high-school jewelry class and she went on to perfect her artistic and business skills via a BFA in Jewelry from Kent State University and an MBA in Entrepreneurship from Baldwin-Wallace University.

Michelle founded her eponymous jewelry company in 2001 and specializes in small collections of one-of-a-kind designs. Handcrafted in gemstones, pearls and ethically sourced precious metals in her Ohio studio, Michelle’s creations are elegant and ethereal art to wear that stirs the soul. In addition to designing her signature collections, Michelle works one-on-one with collectors to create breathtaking custom designs.
