Zuzko Jewelry
My path began in Prague, Czech Republic. I grew up in one of the most ancient cities of Europe, surrounded by centuries of art and architecture, the old and manmade amazing me at every step.
In my adult life I found my home in the Pacific Northwest immersing myself in the rugged beauty of the outdoors and the unrestrained imagination of nature. Both of these contrasting surroundings influence my creative vision on a deep level, playing a major role in my design process. The organic, feminine, understated beauty of nature blends together with the industrial, masculine and manmade in the jewelry I create.
Art has always been a big part of my life, I have been drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. A gift of jewelry tools from my husband was the beginning of this creative adventure. This opened a whole new outlet and I found myself enthralled in the puzzle of manipulating metal and stone. I started creating jewelry that I would want to wear, and soon realized that I was not the only one wanting to wear it...that is how Zuzko jewelry was born.
