I absolutely loved Wicked on stage and I couldn’t be more excited for the movie release! Who else found themselves tearing up during "Defying Gravity" or giggling through "Popular"? If you're one of the lucky ones with tickets to the hottest movie in town, I hope you have an unforgettable time. And if you’re on the hunt for the perfect jewels to wear while spreading your magic—whether you’re a good witch or a bad witch (wink, wink!)—here are a few of my top picks!
Are You a Good Witch…
Or a Bad Witch?
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.
