Our Roots
Owned by Bobbi French, G. Thomas Jewelers has been serving clients in Manhattan, Kansas, and beyond for over 60 years. With a deep commitment to craftsmanship and care, we’ve helped generations of families celebrate life’s biggest moments. Paige Two continues that legacy led by Bobbi’s daughter Alexis Forge, by bringing the same expertise and attention to detail to clients in Kansas City and surrounding areas, through a more personal, designed-for-you service model.
Just like turning the page in a great story, Paige Two represents a new chapter—a modern, approachable way to creating a custom-designed piece that truly reflects who you are. Instead of a traditional showroom, we meet you where it’s most convenient: often in comfortable public spaces like your favorite local coffee shop. It’s jewelry shopping, reimagined for real life.

Meet Alexis
What started as a mother-daughter bond over gemstones and gorgeous jewelry is now becoming something we never dreamed of. I am Alexis, and after spending most of my childhood and teen years working together and then a few years of working apart, a big move to Kansas City, our dreams brought us back together. With roots at G. Thomas Jewelers in Manhattan, Kansas, and my home now in Kansas City, we're bringing our shared dream to life: creating custom, handcrafted jewelry that speaks to your story.
Alongside my incredible mom, we're expanding her beloved brick-and-mortar shop into a new chapter with Paige Two Custom Jewelry. Together, we’re blending old-school craftsmanship with fresh creativity, pouring love and intention into every piece we make.
Our mission is simple: to make everyone feel seen, heard, and celebrated. Whether you're starting a love story, commemorating a milestone, or honoring a legacy, we’re here to help you create something timeless — something that feels like you.
Shopping local means more than supporting small — it means becoming part of something personal. From our hands to yours, we can't wait to help turn our dream into your dream piece — a future heirloom, full of meaning, made to last generations. I cannot wait to meet you and create your dream piece.
Xo, Alexis
