Jewelry is in Susana Vega’s blood. The Venezuelan designer learned her
craft from her goldsmith father, who inherited his know-how from his own
father. Based in Houston, Texas, Susana channels her roots and the
landscapes of her upbringing near Mérida, Venezuela, in many of her
designs.
A master of color and texture, Susana uses glass beads, semi precious
stones and pearls to create distinct pieces that are a testament to the
seven day, five stage process required to make them. Unexpected and
bold, her earrings and necklaces are undeniable statement pieces —but
there’s also a playfulness to Susana’s creations that captures our
imagination and stirs our Caribbean spirit.
