Paragon’s offerings include sterling silver and fashion jewelry, hand-made art from natural and repurposed materials, rocks, beautiful wood creations, pottery, lamps, wind chimes, gifts, and accessories, including handmade Colorado and Castle Rock souvenirs. Paragon also has Lipsense 12 hr + lip color, glosses, and balms. 

Paragon’s owner, Ruth Joy, has a vast retail background, having worked in a family-owned  business growing up. She worked in commercial real estate and sales, owned a handful of small companies, including a limo service, fine jewelry, and made her own art, wholesale gifts, and jewelry. She has always appreciated things made from nature and, as an artist, hoped she would have a small business one day. Many years later, here she is, a shop owner at The Emporium.
