Susan Eisen was chosen as one of the top goldsmiths and designers in the jewelry industry by MJSA in their second volume publication entitled Professional Excellence in Jewelry Making and Design.
The article featured a technique created by Ms. Eisen to design and fabricate her one-of-a-kind Franklin Mountain Collection pieces. Entitled “Stick With It”, the article demonstrates her use of an adhesive paper to aid in arranging difficult jewelry pieces and enable them to be joined with a laser welder. The book includes nationally known goldsmiths and experts describing their creative jewelry techniques and designs.
