About Susan Marsh

Susan Marsh's designs are much more than jewelry. Her pieces showcase an artistic flare honed from many years as an oil-on-canvas painter. In her prolific collection brush-strokes of color and intensity are replaced with striking combinations of hammered metals, swirls of silver and gold and luminous champagne pearls. The result is exquisite and beautiful jewlery as well as wearable art.




Susan Marsh's one-of-a-kind creations are crafted to thrill. With designs that range from classically modern to eclectric and elegant. Marsh's jewelry combines skilled artistry with a keen eye for all that is fabulous and fashionable. African wedding beads, smoky topaz and vintage semi-precious gemstones come to life when fused with Marsh's trademark acid etching.Compelled to create, Susan Marsh began designing jewelry in the 1980's because "she could not wear her paintings." Passion inspires her as much as life's folly, and she is never at a loss for ideas.

Each dramatic brooch, necklace, bracelet and earring is distinctive or free form stone or trinket that can be adeptly transformed into a magical yet sophisticated and timeless adornment. In addition to her current collection, Marsh is keen on 'recycling your jewelry box'. Her latest project combines panache and modern techniques to bring unworn art and family heirlooms into the 21st Century. Transform great grandmother's brooch and pearls into contemporary keepsakes you will be proud to wear and pass on to the next generation.
