Owner-Designer: Suzanne Kaland

Company name: Suzanne Kalan

Year Launched: 1998

Headquarters: Los Angeles (represented by Fragments in New York City)

Jewelry designing became Suzanne’s passion after her first child was born. She made her dreams a reality in 1988 when her husband encouraged her to start their own company.

Suzanne’s background in design coupled with her love of beautiful jewelry led to the creation of a handcrafted collection that is feminine & romantic with a modern twist. She hand picks every gemstone with a keen eye for color, traveling the world to ensure each stone is uniquely cut to fit her collection."Her father owned a fine jewelry store, and his husband was a diamond setter. She fell into designing by accident, and started making jewelry for myself when her daughter was born. When she started getting requests from store owners, it turned into a business."
