Susan Sims

Susan Sims

Susan Sims has been developing her craft for more than thirteen years. All of her jewelry is hand fabricated in 22kt gold. She melts the metal into a solid 22kt gold ingot that she forms and hammers until she is satisfied with each one-of-a-kind piece.

Susan's inspiration for her work is the inherent beauty of the gold and the challenge of creating a vehicle for that richness. She knows she has been successful when the emotion that she invests in each piece engenders a palpable, full-hearted sense of resolution. Susan's wish is for the wearer to enjoy the same exhilaration that she experiences in the process of expressing her vision through her art.

FAQs

What is rose gold?

Rose gold is alloyed with copper to produce a pink cast. We work with 18kt rose gold on a special-order basis.

What is the difference between 14, 18, and 22 karat ("k" or "kt") gold?

These numbers indicate the proportion of pure gold to other metals (alloys) that are added to determine durability, color, and value; the percentages of pure gold in each category are 14kt-14 points per 24 or 58.33%, 18kt-18 points per 24 or 75%, and 22kt-22 points per 24 or 91.67%.

Adjusting

Adjusting"W" Clasps

The “W” clasp on your chain or necklace is a classic design, used for thousands of years as a functional and decorative element. It can also be used as a "hanger" for a pendant. The W is made of 24kt gold and is very flexible.

To open the clasp, push one “wing” of the W forward. Do not pull out laterally. To insure a secure closure, push the wing back to center, and align with the center loop.

After many uses you may find your clasp becoming stiff. This can easily be remedied by having it annealed, a process where the gold is heated and cooled to make the piece soft and flexible again. Any reputable jeweler can do this for you. If you would like us to do it, please allow 1-3 days for completion. See our video tutorial
