Designer Necklaces
By Suze Swerdlova

Art of the Jewel Sue Swerdlow has been in Hawaii for 40 years living the dream life of many artists. Now, another famous icon of island life has inspired Sue's necklace designs, the beautiful Hawaiian lei. Her necklaces incorporate pearls, amethyst, citrine, jades, agates, coral, quartz crystal, aquamarine, carnelian, mother of pearl, along with lampwork, dichoric, vintage Czech, Indian, and Italian hand blown glass beads. Much like her paintings, Sue (design name Suze Swerdlova) builds a theme around her unique and exoitc centerpieces. Coupled with a talent for texture and color set her designs apart. Using antique ivories and jades, Koa beads, vintage quartz, Chinese gambling chips and 'nail guards', cameos, and even meershaum smoking pipes make these creations show stoppers and true wearable pieces of art.
