Suzanne Reid is a native of Ohio, who relocated to the Valley of the Sun in 1981. She is proud of her Native American heritage and attributes her artistic ability and love of beads; especially turquoise to her Cherokee Great-Grandmother.

For the part 25 years Suzanne has concentrated on the design and handcrafting of semi-precious gemstone jewelry.

She uses over 20 different semi-precious gemstone beads in her designs incorporating sterling silver, gold-filled, gold plate, and silver plate findings. All of her designs are original, one-of-a-kind. She particularly enjoys creating Native American and contemporary designs using turquoise, lapis, malachite and black onyx.
