Suzanne Terho
"My mission is to create affordable Art Jewellery of high
quality that is truly unique and one-of-a-kind"
Suzka Designs is a registered trade name of a Barbadian Jewelry Artist, Suzanne Terho, who
specializes in creating hand crochet wire and thread jewelry.
Suzanne learned crocheting from her mother as a teenager growing up in Barbados. After
spending her early adulthood in New York City studying dance and acting she returned to
Barbados in mid-90's where she currently resides with her husband Jukka and their two
children, Niko and Nikita.
In Barbados Suzanne resumed crocheting again and started first making bathing suits for her
daughter as well as belts and handbags for herself. Soon her friends began ordering various
crochet items from her and from the feedback received she realized that there is a demand
for, but very few suppliers of high quality one-of-a-kind hand crochet items. She started
experimenting with hand crochet jewelry and incorporating semi-precious stones, pearls,
beads, and crystals into her creations. Next came experimenting with crocheting metal wire
which proved quite challenging first but with time and hard work she realized that she was able
to produce high quality wire crochet jewelry. The positive response to her early creations then
motivated her to pursue this art form further.
Wire crocheting is time consuming and requires very good crocheting skills and thus there are
very few jewelry artists in the world that have been capable of mastering this method. Thus
Suzka pieces are not only unique but also rare.
Suzka Designs is a true "one-family-show". All Suzka jewelry boxes are hand decorated with
authentic Barbados beach sand and sea shells by her husband and children. Her husband is
also responsible for the website creation and taking photographs of jewelry.
