Susan Steger

With strong visual skills, vivid imagination, and innovative designs, Susan Steger offers the highest quality handmade jewelry, of the finest materials. She produces each piece from concept to finished product herself, with exceptional attention to detail.

Susan was a fine art major at The Ohio State University. Susan is a participating member at the Cultural Art Center in Columbus, Ohio where she developed her craft in the art of metalsmithing and enameling. She is a member of the Florida Society of Goldsmiths and regularly attends the Society’s Metalsmithing program, which features top artists from around the world.

Susan has studied under the guidance of Jean Stark of the Kulicke-Stark Academy of Jewelry Art in New York City and Parsons School of Design, where Susan acquired the skills to design her unique ancient rings and her granulation pieces. At the Cultural Arts Center, Susan has been under the guidance of Juanita Hill, Kristi Kloss, and Collen Baum. Jeweler and educator, John Cogswell, of the State University of New York, New Paltz helped cultivate her metal forging skills in the hills of North Carolina.

One technique Susan uses is forging metal in which she fashions copper and sterling silver by hammering to give texture and shape. Her Grecian Boat Earrings are a product of this artistic method. The earrings are a modern design with the same aesthetics as those found in the tombs of Egypt.
