Susan Meier creates modern jewelry drawing on shapes and motifs from the romance of opulent decadence of the past. She leans heavily in working metal with tools rather than casting, giving the surface an imperfect texture.

All of her work is handcrafted in her rustic studio on the small island in the Puget Sound of Washington. This quiet setting, set in nature, gives Susan the space to make work that’s unhurried and timeless. There is something feminine and romantic, yet sturdy which also reflects her ideas of how jewelry is to be worn. Precious but built to withstand our busy lives.
