Susan Kinzig's specialty is creating wearable art with a sterling silver base, adorned with mosaic inlays of brass and copper, or accented with semiprecious stones and pearls. She approaches each piece of jewelry as a small kinetic sculpture with a keen focus on detail, and the discovery of new techniques and materials remain a constant challenge. She loves warm rich colors and the textures of oxidized metals. Her mosaic inlays are created from patinated brass and copper that have been buried for days in a wood chip mixture to obtain the desired texture and color.
