I’m Sue, a South Australian silversmith and sailor. My studio is located in Adelaide's inner suburbs. I design, make, market and distribute everything with my own hands.
The Goose came to life about 9 years ago after friends encouraged me as they loved what I was making and wanted to buy my special pieces.
I named the business Silver Goose Jewellery after the first brooch I made.
I tend to see something and wonder how it will work in silver. When I saw a full-size statue of a goose with backwards boots in the window of the Jam Factory I had to give it a go.
So I created this funky little goose wearing backwards boots – quirky, whimsical, cute and a bit different. This is me… this is my style… is it yours too?
I also have been learning how to repair broken porcelain and china pieces using the traditional Japanese method of Kintsugi. This process uses the natural urishi product to glue the pieces together and gold or silver to provide a uniquely beautiful finish. I’ve been able to restore a number of pieces special to people using this traditional method.
If you love my work as much as the Goose and I love making special pieces for our dear friends and customers, please follow and share our journey on Facebook and Instagram with your friends too!
