About Our jewelry is inspired by travels through Iraq, Turkey, India, and Thailand. While working in primarily impoverished areas, Zuzan noticed the intricate and beautiful skill of many women artisans. Their work has given rise to Zuzan's simple and unique jewelry.
Uniqueness
All pieces are made with argentium sterling silver; which is a type of sterling that does not tarnish as easily
Each pair of earrings is lightweight and will not burden your ears after hours of wearing
Wire wrapped rings are fashioned after ones found in Turkey, you'd be hard pressed to find them anywhere else
All stones used are semi-precious gemstones purchased from the source country
Each purchase helps further non-profit work in North Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia
Our joy is still to train and build skills, whether those skills are used for fun or to start new businesses. Contact us about hosting a jewelry party where we will teach you how to make your very own jewelry piece.
Behind the Name Zuzan is a Kurdish word meaning the grassy plateau on top of a mountain. The Kurds have a saying, stemming from when they fled from genocide into the mountains, "The Kurds have no friends but the mountains". Thus, zuzan came to mean "faithful". Zuzan Custom Jewelry exists to help give a faithful future to those we work with around the world.
