5 Of My Mannin Fine Jewelry Faves

Re-discover gold with Suzanne Donegan's sustainable, "made-to-order" jewelry line

There are many talented jewelry designers and no shortage of baubles to covet. But not quite as often do you stumble upon a true artisan with both style and ethos. From her charming, Santa Monica Bungalow, Designer Suzanne Donegan took me on a tour of her MANNIN luxe jewelry collection that is truly timeless, extremely noteworthy and a genuine reflection of her passions--gold and sustainability. In fact, every piece in this iconic collection is crafted using a clean processing method meticulously vetted by Suzanne herself and with 100% recycled, 18k gold. Her artistry shows in the subtly finessed gold colors she’s blended exclusively for Mannin and in the time spent on each, made-to-order piece. Pricey but designed to outlive trends, Mannin can be found in the jewelry wardrobes of Jennifer Lopez, Courteney Cox, Halle Berry & lister, Andrea Stanford of One Kings Lane, who originally introduced me to the line, to name a few. But that’s not the reason to follow-suit. These pieces are made with heart and the monograming options and classic forms make them gifts of sentiment, whether for yourself or someone else. But perhaps most importantly, pieces you’ll love forever, are most definitely worth their weight in gold. Below, a photo tour of some of her beautiful collection that should prove to be great inspiration for upcoming Gift Lists.

A Collection of Classic Pieces: The Mannin Collection Hard to deny that these pieces will be just as relevant to your jewelry wardrobe 20 years from now, as they are today.
Case in point: Square Signet Ring This ring comes in a variety of shapes & monogram styles, as well as in both gold and rose gold....Suzanne's custom hues, of course. A wonderfully timeless graduation gift idea.
The Perfect Mother's Day Gift for a New Mom: Monogram Circle Platelet What mom wouldn't love a beautiful, golden disc with her child's initial on it? Add a touch of romance by putting dad's initial on the other side.
Signature Statement: Link Earings Suzanne's signature link design for Mannin
Take Your Style To New Heights: Dome Ring I love wearing a single, large ring and this one is a keeper. I favor the florentine finish shown here.
