Delicious Designer Sueanne Shirzay



We are extremely delighted to share
a scrumptious jewelry designer!
Thank You Sueanne for sharing
yourself & beautiful jewelry designs.

Love this quote from Sueanne's bio:
"I don't want people to see the jewelry wearing the woman, rather the woman wearing the jewelry."

About the Artist:

It is so much fun to make something with my own hands that goes on to become a part of someone else's life. At this very moment somebody somewhere out there might be feeding their kids, going to the gym, writing a novel, laughing with girlfriends over cosmos, or having a romantic dinner... all while wearing something I made. It's thrilling when something I make suits somebody so perfectly. Doing trunk shows is fun because it gives me a chance to see how things look on a variety of people.


I had an art gallery for while and learned to make jewelry rather unexpectedly while popping in on a class at my own gallery in 2008. I got hooked within minutes. The infatuation has continued and I now sell the jewelry at trunk shows, galleries and local shops, as well as my two online stores. My philosophy is to create beautiful pieces that can be worn everyday or for an occasion, alone or layered for a more stylized look. I like to think my jewelry enhances the beauty of the woman wearing it. I don't want people to see the jewelry wearing the woman, rather the woman wearing the jewelry. I love working with color, color and more color. Semi-precious stones such as chalcedony, amethysts and aquamarines are among my favorites. I am happy to do custom orders, and love working with other creative people to create the perfect piece. My studio workspace migrates between my loft overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Long Island NY and mountain house in the Catskills in a little place we have up there. You can't beat the silence and beauty of these kinds of landscapes. The pink sunsets on Long Island are really inspiring.

Moi, addicted?

Hi. My name is Amber. I'm a beadaholic. I have serious addiction issues.

African Amethyst ♦♦ ♦ AAA Kyanite ♦♦♦ AAA Multi-Sapphire


Yes, I do, and I've come to terms with that:) I am addicted to Gemstones. I just can't get enough. I could spend an ENTIRE day just browsing Gems on the web, and an entire WEEK fondling them at a Gem show! What is it about Gemstones that makes them so enticing and mesmerizing? Color, sparkle, shape, feel, imperfections, everything!


Mystic Blue Topaz ♦♦ ♦ AAA Lemon Quartz ♦♦♦ Sage Green Mystic Quartz


Being a jewelry designer AND gemstone seller is like a double edged sword for me. On one side, I am SO lucky, because with the gem selling business I get to purchase(and fondle) so many beautiful stones, and many times, ones that I may never be able to afford, or maybe just wouldn't purchase for myself. I love inspecting them, and taking note of each ones unique characteristics. However on the other side, I usually fall in love with them, and find it incredibly hard to let go of them! I want to take them all, run far away in the mountains, and just roll around in them forever lol!
