PHUN by Paige Novick Claire Collection Small “V” Pave Silver Drop Earrings Review

Although Paige Novick officially launched her luxury accessories company in 2008, she is no stranger to the fashion industry. From 1993-2003 Paige was the owner and creative director of “Frou” by Paige Novick, the contemporary handbag-and later clothing-brand that was carried by specialty and department stores in the U.S., Japan, and Europe.

A proclaimed Francophile, inspiration continuously comes to Paige from having lived and studied in Paris for several years. While studying art history at the Sorbonne, she interned at Chanel working directly with Karl Lagerfeld and was immediately stirred by his passion and dedication to his art. This gave Paige the impetus to pave a career in fashion upon returning to New York.

Her jewelry reflects her personal style; effortless yet chic. One of the hallmark characteristics of Paige’s designs is her use of contrasting elements; masculine and feminine, organic and synthetic, rough and refined. Asymmetric details, worn finishes, and a luxuriously casual vibe give Paige’s collection feminine and a sexy appeal.

Many of her pieces are discreetly adorned with a silver or gold snail. Paige chose this symbol as her icon because of the mollusk’s quiet beauty and self-assurance. The snail’s understated grace and steadfast determination in the face of uncertainty echoes Paige’s unwavering spirit and consistent approach to design. She has managed to create an aura of accessibility and genuine playfulness, under an emotive, elegant luxury halo.
