Simplicity has always been a key element in Susan Marie’s work and circles are among nature’s most elegant and simplistic geometric forms.

As a graduate of the Gemological Institute of America, the faceted gemstones and pearls Susan Marie carefully selects are the focal point of her pieces. When designing and making each one she uses the interacting half circles to compliment both the form and liveliness of each gemstone. The circles dance and cascade around the stones, joining them together in a playful manner.

Susan Marie uses a wide variety of natural color gemstones in her work, from Aquamarines to Sapphires. Natural color fancy South Sea and Tahitian Pearls are also used as a soft and elegant focal point to this series of work. Diamonds are used as an accent to contrast with the colored stones and pearls to enhance the sense of motion as one’s eye flows throughout the piece.

While the finest quality gemstones she uses add elegance, the simplicity of form in her gold work assists with a casual touch. This allows the pieces to be worn for everyday use as well as for life’s most special occasions.
