Some designs highlight the color and uniqueness of hand-picked gemstones; while others feature the beauty of metal alone. Most of our sterling is patinaed dark and then polished up, for the feel of jewelry worn and loved for a long time. The gold we use is high quality 14 carat gold fill which remains gold for the life of the piece (unlike vermeil or gold plate) but allows us to keep a lower price point than solid gold would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_9 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eWe are a small, family business, located in the best kept secret of the Pacific NorthWest, a small island 20 minute ferry ride from Seattle called Vashon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eThe ZUZKO story began 15 years ago (has it really been that long?!), when my better half gave up on trying to gift me the perfect jewel (I was super picky with the jewelry I wore, and it was not easy to find something I would love), and instead gifted me a set of pliers, an ounce of silver, and a basic wire-wrapping class for my birthday, with a card that said “make your own my love”.  Little did he know where this gift would lead us….\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eI 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eStarted in the basement of our old craftsman house in Seattle, and through many twists and turns somehow it has blossomed into a full-fledged business with over 50 galleries around the country carrying our creations!  It still blows me away every time I think about it…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eThese days we are all involved in the day-to-day operations of our little enterprise.  I do the designing and most of the making; Jason takes care of all of the “behind the scenes” that makes running a business possible and he also makes most of the components for the designs; and our little Aja helps with sorting and organizing, when she is not busy making a big mess in the studio channeling her own creativity… oh, and let's not forget Sterling, our all black German Shepherd, whose biggest talent lies in picking the most inconvenient spot to lay, the more in the way the better, in very successful attempts to trip us all :)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eWe have been making pretty things for over 15 years now, and I give thanks every day to be able to earn a living working from home, with my family, doing something as fulfilling as creating things with my hands.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eHope you enjoy the fruits of our labor, we sure enjoy making them!!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eArtist statement:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_9 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eMy path began in Prague, Czech Republic.

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 man made in the jewelry I create.​\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_9 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eArt 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003eFind more of Zuz's work\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ehere.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Zuzko Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50899670270000,"sku":"oxi1793118252519","price":156.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0688\/8072\/8112\/files\/FullSizeRender_d4d217b7-d9f5-4c7b-b55a-db27e2724bdd.jpg?v=1793118258","url":"https:\/\/tinacleandeals.shop\/products\/horseshoe-bracelet-blue-sapphire-by-zuzko-jewelry","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
