Susan Crow

"I believe that beautiful objects should be made with respect for our earth and the people that live here. I support equity for all people globally, and have built my business on my convictions that all people are created equal and have the right to experience beauty."

Minimalism and functionality blend with Susan’s attraction to industrial simplicity, mechanically and aesthetically, and their symbiotic relationship. This is evident in her contemporary designs.

Precious minerals are not sustainable because they are extracted and don’t grow back. Using that as a business principle, Susan strives to find gold, diamonds, and gemstones that are as responsibly sourced as possible. She has been licensed to sell Fair-mined gold since 2013 and has integrated responsible sourcing processes into her gold, diamond, and gemstone sourcing. She partners with vendors and organizations that build schools, insist on gender equality, and create positive change for all stakeholders in the jewelry industry, which includes paying a living wage.

Susan received her BS degree in Design and Metalsmithing, and a post-graduate certificate in Sustainable Design. Her fine jewelry is a balance of form, proportion, and color—design elements that will enhance their heirloom quality. Currently, Susan is a member of numerous professional jewelry organizations and sits on the board of Ethical Metalsmiths. She has exhibited at New York Fashion Week and Milan Fashion Week and won the 2019 MJSA Award of Distinction for Sustainable Design. Her work is available through her website and by appointment at her studio.
