Each Susan Green necklace features her signature fiber-wrapping technique, which combines hand-dyed silk and rayon cords with antique and metallic threads and ribbons to create a smooth and subtly colored surface, which feels wonderful against the skin. Many necklaces use her unique, handcrafted silver and bronze closures, which harmonize with the colors of the piece through original surface treatments. The necklaces are beaded with the highest attention to detail, fall and flow, whether the look is simple and graphic or elaborately elegant. Susan uses rare beads from around the world including antique Czech glass, Austrian crystal, Tibetan copper and brass, and African silver. Susan is drawn to natural materials such as bone, horn, wood, coral, amber and stone. She enjoys using unusual, natural pearls, as well as precious and semi-precious jewels such as iolite, sapphire, carnelian, citrine and turquoise. Some necklaces feature a powerful ethnographic element such as a Tuareg amulet, Moroccan fibula or Ethiopian cross.

Because of her highly refined sense of color and texture, Susan is called upon to match and accent the work of many clothing designers each season, including Catherine Bacon, Zonda Nellis, Teri and Carter Smith, Mary Jane Sarvis, Ann McKenna and Lea Ditson. She enjoys creating pieces that harmonize in color and proportion to achieve a total concept.
