Meet Susan England
Designer & CEO Of Nu-Avenue Jewelry
My Mission: To Offer Products That Are Unique, High Quality, Hand Crafted At Affordable Prices.
Hi, I'm Susan Maslanka England and this creative journey started when I was 8 years old, baking a cake shaped like a castle. It was beautiful, my mom said so. I've always loved making things, spray painting shells I found, sewing, etc. So after a little bit of college, I decided I wanted to own my own clothing boutique. I went to Barbizon Fashion Merchandisinc School in Dallas Texas. From which I graduated as the top student and found a job working for a jewelry designer. I was priviledged to work at the Dallas Market, meeting designers, seeing all the new fashion and purchasing. With a little jewelry knowledge, I began making my own belts, bracelets, earrings and custom design sweatshirts that I sold at the Dallas City Market on the weekends. Then about 25 years later I was getting married on a beach in Jamaica and I needed some kind of “shoe” and found barefoot jewelry. Set on having sparkly feet, I made my first pair. From there the barefoot sandal design evolved into a more durable and affordable piece and not only for weddings but for a fun beach or pool side look. This evolved into matching earrings, bracelets and decided to expanded the product line to include necklaces, boot jewels and much more.
Enjoy the fun items and if you want a custom item email me, I would love to work with you and design a piece just for you!
