About Susan Roberts

A Connecticut native, Susan Roberts has been designing and making jewelry for more than 20 years. Prior to venturing out on her own, Susan spent 13 years as buyer specializing in antiques, home décor, clothing and accessories. She enjoyed creating elaborate set designs and floral arrangements, bringing together each element to create an environment of shabby chic. Susan’s unique style stems from her love of art, color, and fashion. She believes in creating distinctly feminine pieces that combine organic elegance with a posh, urban flair. Her namesake collection features fluid wrap bracelets, cascading earrings, lariats and other original pieces accentuated by hand-selected semi-precious stones and made to transition seamlessly from everyday wear to special occasions. As she works, Susan says she imagines an artist’s palette—mixing layer upon layer of color with different shapes and designs. “I choose each stone and bead by hand, and I never know what I’m going to find. That’s where my inspiration comes from, looking at a particularly beautiful stone and seeing how it is cut. Then, I’ll look for something that complements its color and shape, and before long I’ve created something that will make someone feel beautiful.” Susan’s newest collection, Indigo Designs, draws upon her eclectic design background and creates a blend of old and new using repurposed vintage beads, Bakelite and other distinctive materials to deliver a unique line of fun and affordable everyday pieces emphasized by bright colors and an art deco feel.
