Susan Crow Studio FAIRMINED GOLD, AQUAMARINE AND DIAMOND SNAKE NECKLACE

Susan Crow believes that beautiful objects should be made with respect for our earth and the people that live there. She supports equity for all people – globally, and has built her business on her convictions that all people are created equal and need to experience beauty. Her roots are grounded in the midwest heartland of the US with strong northern connections of Scandinavian design and culture. Minimalism and functionality blend with Susan’s attraction to industrial simplicity, mechanically and aesthetically, and their symbiotic relationship. This is evident in her jewelry designs. Susan strives to find gold, diamonds and gemstones that are as responsibly sourced as possible. She has been licensed to sell Fairmined gold since 2013 and has integrated responsible sourcing process improvements into her gold, diamond and gemstone sourcing. She partners with venders and organizations that insist on gender equality, support mining communities and create positive change for all stakeholders in the jewelry industry. She received her degree in design and metal smithing, and a post graduate certificate in Sustainable Design. Her fine jewelry is a balance of form, proportion and color - design elements that will enhance their heirloom quality. Currently, Susan is an active member of numerous professional jewelry organizations and sits on the board of Ethical Metalsmiths. She has exhibited at New York Fashion Week and Milan Fashion Week.
