What artist Suzanne Wilson seems to accomplish most regularly in her fine jewelry designs is balance. The force of a large Aquamarine stone is tempered by a delicately filigreed setting. An ethereal mother-of-pearl oval is anchored by a heavy gold signet ring. A simple, pretty diamond and white gold band for the finger is made delightfully surprising by the addition of a dangling Art Deco egg. Whether in her signature collections or with her one-of-a-kind pieces, Suzanne marries texture, form and color with a kind of calm authority, producing pieces that will be worn and loved for a lifetime.
Certain pieces are part of what could be called her permanent collection; others are one-of-a-kind projects. Some current favorites from a recent studio visit:
One-of-a-kind handmade 18k Fire Opal Cabachon ring with pavé diamonds (42 ct Opal; 1.10 ct diamonds) ($11,000):
Vintage carved angel-skin coral handmade necklace in 18k rose gold with pavé diamond accent ($2950):
18k multi-stone chain rings (sapphires; opal; ruby; beryl; topaz; citrine), each stone bezel set and selected by SWD–no two rings are ever alike. Striking and subtle on their own, they also stack in a beautifully drapey way. (sizes 5.5-7; price $1250-$1400 depending on size):

Suzanne’s designs embody all the warmth and femininity of the artist herself. One has the feeling, when seeing or wearing the pieces, of being cupped in loving hands, of being quietly applauded, of hearing the softest voice whispering, “Yes–you are beautiful.”
