Susan Suh - Designer Jewelry

Born in Seoul, S. Korea and raised in Northern California,
Susan Suh moved to New York City to pursue her second
career in fashion design. She attended the Fashion Institute
of Technology while gaining industry experience at such
houses as Armani and Versace. With the engagement to her
fiancé, she was asked to design her own engagement ring
with that experience, she also fell in love with the making of
jewelry. She then attended the Jewelry Arts Institute to study
classical jewelry-making techniques before launching her
debut collection, Freedom & Hope.

Her design process starts with architectural and structural
elements whether they are solid or fluid. She utilizes fashion
design techniques such as draping and pattern-making in
the developmental stages of her collections. Details are
important to Susan, such as comfort, functionality and quality
of her handcrafted pieces. She mixes contrasting textures
and elements while always looking for new combinations.
Susan takes her cues from nature, “I believe the blue print for
design is available to us in nature,” says the designer.
