SUSANNAH KING JEWELLERY
At just 21 years old, goldsmith and jewelry designer Susannah has been shortlisted for Young Designer of the Year in the Professional Jeweller Awards 2019
Susannah has always been creative and aged 18, she turned her hand to making jewelry, including gem-setting, casting, and engraving. She continues a three-generation long legacy of being in the handmade jewelry trade. “I was born and raised in Hayes, Middlesex. My father was born in Woodley and has goldsmiths in Twyford, where I trained and now work. My grandfather and father are both goldsmiths, and my mother is a gemologist!” says Susannah.
“I love the village I work in. Twyford is full of alternative characters and everyone is lovely.”
After Susannah launched her eponymous line of jewelry, she reveals her career started to come together after scoring small sections in a few issues of British Vogue and Brides magazine. “And after this, I jetted off to Holland to work with a Dutch fashion designer from the Amsterdam Fashion Institute,” she says.
Since then, she hasn’t looked back. “I’ve worked with celebrity and political clientele, shown at February’s London Fashion Week, become a Bronze partner of the National Film Awards and have been nominated for Young Designer of the Year 2019. The awards ceremony is on 2nd September at Lord’s cricket ground in London. It is a dream come true,” she says.
“I’m also showing at London Fashion Week in September with The Jewellery Cut live showroom as one of their designer brands.”
