Since 1979, every Susan Shaw piece has been handcrafted in San Antonio, Texas. Susan Shaw Jewelry is the designer and exclusive manufacturer of the brand, ensuring unmatched quality and guaranteed authenticity.

All Susan Shaw jewelry is either 24K handcast gold plated or handcast sterling silver plated. Handcasting is a plating method done by hand. This method produces the most consistent and highest-quality plating possible and is far superior to standard machine plating. Susan Shaw Jewelry pieces are handcast with three coats of 24K gold or sterling silver. All items are plated over a lead-free base metal.

All jewelry with pearls or stones are made using genuine freshwater pearls or semi-precious stones, including genuine turquoise, quartz, coral, onyx, and agate, with the exception of Cotton Pearls and imitation Pearl Cabs.
