Visitors are eager to appraise the city’s architecture such as the Gibralfaro Castle that provides a panoramic view of the city.
Spain is also home to featured jewelry designer Inés Susaeta.
The sea is a strange, unknown world with a myriad of
creatures thriving in its depths. It is
mysterious, beautiful and powerful.
Susaeta’s jewelry reflects a lifelong love of the surf.
Her affordable jewelry creations of languid ropes strewn
with bronze spikes, and muted hues of beach stones cradled in sterling silver
cages seem like sunken treasures excavated from the ocean floor. They simultaneously evoke hazy beach sunrises;
overcast skies that mirror grey sands below; and never-ending blue skies on a
bright, sunny day.
Susaeta grew up in the seaside town Sopelana, Spain where
she loved watching her father catch waves in the Cantabarian Sea.
Sopelana is also where she developed a strong “link with nature.” She provides coral branches and sea shells with full-fledged collections as well as the aforementioned beach stones.
Her easy going yet discrete style holds a little edge and
drama. The naturalistic, free form
outlines of the bronze rings from her Spike
Collection, in particular, are so organic they resemble clawed creatures
emerging from the surf!

Accents of tiny sapphires and emeralds are paired with
natural beach stones cultivating pendant necklaces and link bracelets that are
both unpretentious and chic.
Having observed her mother paint and create sculptures from objects she found on the beach, jewelry production was an inevitable pursuit for Susaeta.

Trained in jewelry making by a “Colombian teacher,” the
“textures, colors and shapes” of her seaside world easily became central to her
aesthetic. “Nature is an endless source
of aesthetic resources. You have to pay
attention and look; there is where my work begins.
Cliffs of different shores provide me and my team with raw
material for our jewelry. The shores of
these cliffs are where I select each stone for our designs.
Every single jewel has a feeling and a story behind it, which makes it unique.
My jewelry is for anyone who is looking for quality and pieces with strong personality.”
