Suzy Landa
Paying homage to the minimalist design and bold colors of her 1960’s-70’s youth, Suzy Landa's collection reflects a love of mid-century design, art and architecture: Symmetric but soft shapes, clean lines, subtle details; statement pieces without the “fuss.” Landa creates jewelry that marries an old world air with a modern flair. She falls in love with a gem and works backward to create something that makes the centerpiece appear as though it was born there. Reliance on warm gold alloys and a satin finish in order to highlight the gems rather than the metal allows those stones to take center stage. In many cases, the resulting pieces are one-of-a-kind.
Inspired by modernist structures and sculpture, Suzy Landa plays with layers, negative space, movement, and dimension to create pieces that look different when observed from varying angles; and they often have unexpected, surprise elements. As a jewelry artist, she is dedicated to uncompromising gemstone quality and expert craftsmanship of the finished product; her attention to detail is evident in the work.
