Suzi Zutic
Suzi Zutic’s jewellery is driven by a deep curiosity for artifacts and the stories they carry. Her design process and the materials she is drawn to are an exploration of the history embedded within these artifacts — how we attempt to reconstruct the past through them and the possibility of alternate narratives waiting to be uncovered or reimagined. Within these precious pieces, Suzi combines stories of the past and present to create something beautiful, magical and thought-provoking.
Having studied Architectural Drafting, Suzi changed course and completed a degree in Interior Design. Still she found such large spaces unwieldy and difficult to tame, thus she scaled her eye down and studied Gold and Silversmithing at RMIT University. Having completed this degree Suzi has since also studied stone cutting and gemmology. Her use and adaptation of ancient casting and setting techniques points to her fascination with the past and her commitment to exploring the nature of jewellery in a contemporary sense.
