Every piece of jewellery tells a story. It is not just the result of a design but of a process where inspiration, craftsmanship, and respect for materials intertwine to bring unique creations to life. At Suma Cruz, each creation carries a legacy, a vision, and above all, exceptional dedication.
Inspiration: where it all begins
The creative spark can arise anywhere: in nature, in ancient tribes, on travels, or in the most unexpected details. For Susana, founder and creative director, inspiration is a process that sometimes takes years to mature.
The Spring Garden Necklace is a perfect example. Its design took shape in her mind for over a decade. Each glass petal, rescued from antique shops, and each antique pistil are witnesses of past times, now transformed into a limited-edition piece of jewellery. More than a necklace, it is a tribute to the beauty of the past and the value of craftsmanship.
From sketch to reality
Together with our designer, Victoria, the team brings the idea to life through sketches and 3D designs. In some cases, these models are printed in resin to visualise the piece before it takes form in metal. It is a constant exploration process, where every detail matters to ensure an exceptional result. Some examples of this are the Siren Earrings, the Galleon Pendant, or the Brookesia Nana Ring.
The place where dreams come true
Once the design is ready, the team of jewellers takes the stage: Ale, Ana, Aniol, Elisa, Inma, Mónica, Naza, and Olga. Each one contributes their skill and precision to transform an idea into a tangible piece of jewellery. It is a meticulous and passionate process, where patience and expertise turn materials into unique pieces.
Throughout the creation process, what we call happy coincidences arise: small accidents or experiments that lead to unexpected and wonderful results. This is how the Bloom Necklace was born, emerging from the structure of the Spring Garden Necklace and evolving into a new expression of the same essence.
Each piece of jewellery from Suma Cruz reflects this process: a journey of inspiration, dedication, and discovery. Because behind every creation, there is much more than design: there is history, passion, and a commitment to authenticity.
