Meet Our Founder

 

Meet Jess, Founder of Paige Averi.

Growing up in Northern California, Jess was lucky to have parents who made travel a priority from an early age. Those adventures shaped her in ways she's still discovering — and introduced her to the jewelry of the world, one window at a time.

Her true love affair began at just 11 years old, when she was gifted a black Tahitian pearl while traveling with her family — a piece she still wears and cherishes to this day. She remembers vividly falling in love with the story behind it: the rarity, the color spectrum, and the remarkable process by which each pearl comes to be.

From that point on, she quietly built her own collection, sourcing pieces with intention, while always hoping that one day she'd find her way into the fine jewelry business. That day came when she designed what is now known as The Signature Hinged Diamond Ring — a thumb ring created as a birthday gift to herself that quickly revealed its own potential — becoming the spark that launched Paige Averi.

And Paige Averi’s namesake was born from something even more personal: the combined middle names of her two daughters. A brand rooted in family, built to last. While we are starting small, there is much to be created and shared with the world.

We welcome you.
