Jewelry making is a natural extension of the creativity that Suzanne Hollingshead, nicknamed “Zanne,” has been expressing since her early childhood in Chicago. Her father, a visual artist, raised her in an environment where art was an integral part of her everyday experience… always making homemade cards and gifts for family and friends, spending Saturdays taking puppet-making class at the local community center, putting her behind the manual camera when she was barely strong enough to hold it. Suzanne was accepted to attend a “Laboratory” elementary school with a heavy concentration on the arts, and there had the freedom and encouragement to independently explore her creative gifts: mural painting, sculpting, building. At the age of thirteen she discovered and fell in love with metalsmithing and stones… and her knack for jewelry-making began.
Suzanne continued to express her creativity while in university and in the non-profit education world by styling and accessory-making. But after years of custom designing jewelry for herself and her friends in her spare time, the demand for her creations began to extend to private clients in New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, and overseas to France and Malaysia. Suzanne made the decision to devote her focus fully to her passion for adorning, and in 2003 Zanne Jewelry was born and is based in Los Angeles where she now resides.
Zanne Jewelry designs are inspired by Suzanne’s craving to birth art that is unique, fresh and timeless. She combines concepts and materials that could be thought of as incongruous and makes them complementary and seamless. She chooses stones and metals that feel as exquisite on the skin as they look. Zanne creates shapes and designs that flatter the body and complement clothing. Some designs are limited edition due to the use of vintage and one-of-a-kind materials. Zanne Jewelry designs are always original and beautiful.
