Liz and Maggie were ultra-responsive, very easy to work with, and we were incredibly happy with the final results! They were quick to respond to feedback, and the final designs they created were stunning. They even helped connect us with a local artist to create a custom monogram for our wedding, and then used elements of that monogram throughout our stationary to really make the final items stand out and feel unique. I'd highly recommend Paper Rock Scissor if you're considering a high-end stationary vendor for your wedding, or any other important purpose. We have no regrets at all with the choice we made.

From the…read moreinvites to the programs, guests could not stop commenting how awesome they were and how they were very "us". After a quick meeting (we were running late) they were able to give us the look and feel that we wanted. Another stationary place did not come close even with double the amount of time. They are really easy to work with and care about the product and the customers. It made one less thing a hassle in the wedding planning process. They are great at crafting stationary that is as unique as the couple getting married. I would recommend them to any of my friends getting married in the cities.

The process with megan is mind blowing as she coached me through the process of each, especially with developing a logo and branding pieces, something so sensitive and dear to my heart. I felt that she handled my brand as if it were her own. Her designs speak for themselves if you look at her portfolio http://maemaepaperie.com/ so i feel like it would be silly to go on about how inspired and original her work is but it is absolutely stunning. Megan is so great because her service stands up to her designs. During my logo process it was a struggle for me to discern how i felt I wanted my business to be represented. Through my indecisiveness, Megan walked me through the process and guided me on ways I can better portray my vision which ended in a difficult decision on my part because I loved each piece she offered so much. For my wedding invites we chose a collection suite plus a custom address stamp which was so unbelievably painless. She handled the printing as well. Everything was delivered in a timely manner and she gave great recommendations for envelopes & packaging. And the design was pretty awesome on top of the ease. Her passion gets me so excited about the pieces I order, the way my goods came delivered... So adorable! makes you feel valued and you never feel that she's too busy for you... even though I'm sure she is :) I work in the event industry and MaeMae Paperie is my first stationary & paper goods recommendation. She's simply outstanding.

I used MMP for my company's 70th anniversary invitations. Being that this was an auspicious…read moreoccasion for our company we wanted to make sure that we presented it to all of our invitees that way. We were not disappointed. The quality of the invitations were amazing. We used a VERY hefty paper to convey the value of these invitations and the party. Since the party was on the Queen Mary, there was a 1940's cruise line theme. The RSVP cards were even cut to represent a cruise ticket. In addition to the actual invitations we also purchased the design elements so that we could use them for internal marketing. When my graphic designer and ad agency got their invitations they were both impressed at the quality that we received. Mae Mae is a must for any event that you want to convey a sense of importance.

Unfortunately, the engagement and marriage did not work out. While this is not Arthur's problem, I would have hoped that, as a family-owned business, they would show some compassion after making an astronomical profit off me with the HUGE markup I paid. I paid almost $38,000 for my wedding set, which I had worn for less than a month, and they weren't even willing to buy it back at a lesser price or help me in any way. My salesperson checked with the owner, and he didn't even offer a conversation; he just said "no" flat-out. Very disheartening customer service.

I cannot say enough good things about Artelle and the wonderful Stuart and Ellie who own and…read moreoperate it. The short version: amazing customer service, very personable, expert craftmanship with difficult requests with platinum jewelry, all done in a super fast turn around time (like less than two weeks for modifying and making major fixes to four rings). Long version: I came into their shop with a laundry list of repairs and modifications to do to a number of rings, including two platinum rings and a VERY old family ring. Ellie is an absolute dear and even talking to her for a couple minutes makes it feel like you're talking to an old friend. She is so empathetic and sweet. Really just a darling and it's a joy to talk to her every time. Stuart is clearly an expert in his craft. Sometimes you can just tell when someone has really honed their skills in a particular area, not by telling you how experienced they are, but by simply demonstrating deft expertise and earned confidence; that's Stuart. He was so precise in looking over my rings and identifying the problems that I would have never known were there (basically all the accent stones on my engagement ring were loose in addition to one that had fallen out). He was able to explain the sort of work that needed to be done to my ring and explain why in clear terms that made me feel very comfortable and confident that he was really going to take care of my ring. He is not shy about telling you if something is poorly made or not structurally sound lol But I appreciated the candor because I knew the ring would be better off after his work. One of the items on my list was modifying my platinum wedding band that I had gotten made custom through another company and wasn't terribly happy with it. We discussed what a custom design process through Artelle would look like and I know that when I eventually get a new band made that fits my original vision better than what I got, that he will be able to make it happen. In just a couple minutes of discussing the ideas I had and what I wanted, it was clear that he could see the vision I had and would be able to make that a reality. But until such a time as I can commission that, he was able to make some modifications to my existing wedding band to help the design flow better and be more comfortable. I had thought it was a long shot to ask for the sort of modifications I did to the band but he made it work and it looks sooo much better now. One thing that gave me great confidence in Artelle is Stuart and Ellie were clearly not trying to upsell me on services or trying to get money out of me. I had also brought in an older gold ring with a center peridot that has basically never been maintained (old family ring). When talking about trying to clean and polish the ring, reshape, etc Stuart was pretty clear that it would cost more to try to polish the stone than buying a whole new center stone would cost because of its fragile nature. He had said that it could be done, but that it was expensive and probably not worth it outside of sentimental reasons. I was very appreciative that they didn't just say a simple "Sure, we can do that" and quote me the price without explaining the process of what would have had to be done. I tend to trust places that are honest in saying a service that would make them money is not worth the expense to me, the customer. Finally, I had another very old family ring that had never been maintained. As he was examining it, he was able to give me information about the ring that I never knew, like the rough age of the center diamond and the likely time period the ring was made due some details he spotted while examining it that clued towards very old crafting methods. So that was super cool. He touched up the worn-down setting and polished everything up so it looks unrecognizable now after 50+ years of tarnish and daily wear to suddenly glowing and looking new again. It meant a lot that he treated this ring with the utmost care and had warned me of its fragility as well after constant wear without ever having gotten maintenance. I wish I had taken pictures of the ring before I brought it in because it's quite the transformation! So overall, 11/10 would recommend.

I ended up asking Shasta to create our programs, menus and place cards in addition to providing the ribbon for the bridal / bridesmaid bouquets. Her work on the invitations was flawless and her calligraphy is stunning, and I'm excited for the other products to arrive.

During the initial appointment she walked me through the process and helped me chose and design the perfect ring based on my preferences and budget.

During the build process they provided email updates to their website so I could see the progress of the ring (it also explained the build process along the way). With Kristin's help we were able to create a beautiful and unique antique engagement ring that in our eyes is priceless! I would highly recommend to anyone!

With the help of a couple friend's of my then girlfriend, I was able to get a ring size and a couple more ideas to go off from. I searched and searched, finally stumbling to Knox Jewelry. I was surprised by the many different selections, and loved the engravings, and based off the pictures that I got from her friends, that's exactly what she was looking for as well. I emailed the Jeweler and was put in touch with Emily. I told her what I was looking for and even though I was several continents away, and it took many months of preparation, from me, she was abundantly helpful and patient. We were able to do everything over email, and she even added my brother to the order so he could pick it up. I wanted to surprise my now fiancé by coming home early and proposing, and Emily even was able to work discreetly with me. She never pressured me, and was more than helpful finding a center stone, and recommendation with insurance. It's just wonderful how smooth everything went, and being able to surprise her with not only coming home, but such a beautiful ring just made everything perfect. I can't say enough about how great this place is to work with, and how stunning their rings are. Huge thank you to Knox Jewelry! In addition to all that, they even sent me access to a photo gallery so I could watch the process of the ring. Highly recommend!
