The Golden Eye

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.
