Susan Larsen Design

I create pieces that reflect my belief in our deep connection to the natural world. When worn, my jewelry
serves to revitalize the wearer's relationship with nature. The shapes, lines and textures of my work's stylized designs resonate organic power and mystery. 

Inspiration comes from the visual characteristics of natural elements. These impressions are translated into an abstracted, graphic language adapted to metalworking. Bodies of work are created based on themes such as native grass, tree bark, stone and rain. 
 
The work is created by hand using traditional metalworking techniques in spontaneous and intuitive ways. It is made of naturally derived materials including sterling, copper, gemstones, nuts and pearls.
