Susan Hanover- After giving up her career as an attorney, this mother of three transformed her lifelong passion for design and fashion into a burgeoning business in the summer of 2005.Susan launched her first collection of designer jewelry and the response was tremendous. Henri Bendel, New York, introduced her as a new designer and immediately her collection was in demand.
Originally from South Africa, Susan is clearly inspired by the colors and textures of her native landscape. Having grown up surrounded by so much natural beauty, Susan is drawn to earthy, faceted semi-precious stones such as citrine, smokey quartz and topaz. Still, stones are just the backdrop of her work. Having studied art for many years, Susan’s collections center around her love for design. She views her work simply as “a subtle balance between the design and the stones so that one does not overcome the other and a symbiosis is formed.” Susan’s designs are all handcrafted in the USA with either 14 karat gold-filled or gold-plated materials and semi-precious stones.
