Barbara Birdsong offers custom jewelry design service. Together, you'll start wiith an inspiration and collaborate to create a bespoke, one-of-kind piece that reflects your personal style and story. The process begins with a design consultation, followed by a deposit to cover materials and metals needed for your piece. Every design is thoughtfully crafted and made specially for you.

The materials available vary by project, but we regularly work with sterling silver, 14K gold-filled metals, brass, and bronze cast elements. We offer a variety of metals, chains, findings, and design components so you can customize your piece to match your style, vision, and budget. Each project is designed to give you flexibility in selecting the materials that best reflect your personal story and aesthetic.

Absolutely! We encourage guests to explore our gemstone collection and select stones that resonate with them.

Perch is a creative jewelry studio where people gather to make, learn, connect, and celebrate through the process of creating. As an open studio, we encourage people to walk in, explore their creativity, and make something meaningful in an inspiring and welcoming environment. We remove many of the traditional barriers to creating by providing the tools, instruction, materials, and guidance needed to bring your ideas to life.

Whether you're joining a workshop, attending an Open Studio event, reserving space with friends, or simply stopping in to create on your own, Perch is designed to make creativity accessible, approachable, and enjoyable for everyone—regardless of experience level. Our goal is to help people reconnect with the joy of making while building meaningful connections with themselves and others.

A perch is a place to pause, gather, observe, and create. We believe creativity flourishes when we slow down and make space for connection—with ourselves, each other, and the materials we work with.
