Patina Gallery

Artist Susan Bell creates jewelry grounded in centuries of tradition, cultural exchange, and reverence for craft. Her work draws from ancient metallurgical practices rooted in the Andean region of Ecuador, where indigenous communities mined and worked gold long before the arrival of the Spanish. The 18-karat gold used in her pieces comes from small, local mines in the mountains surrounding Cuenca, an area rich with archaeological evidence of early gold adornment.⁠

We are beyond excited to share Susan's work in celebration of IFAM in Santa Fe. Please feel free to call Patina Gallery for more information regarding Susan's pieces.
