Susana Martins is a contemporary jewellery designer born and raised in Portugal. Currently based in Dubai, her journey as a jeweller started at an early age in Northern Portugal.
Trained as a goldsmith and stone setter, Susana holds a post-graduate diploma in Jewellery Design from the School of Arts of Oporto's Catholic University and a qualification as a Gemologist and Diamond Grader.

Susana Martins' education and expertise gave her the tools to understand and communicate her pieces' poetic, conceptual, and technical characteristics while her work explores the intersections between architecture and design. Known for her passion for the Art Deco Era, Susana's aesthetic is evident, explorative, and grows from the classics to a global trend-driven visual language.

"My pieces are not about self-expression as much as they are about how they communicate with our senses, memory, emotions, and body. SMJ is a gateway to share my passion for all things creative, inspiring people's lifestyles through exceptional product experiences." SM

Latest Collection

The Unstoppables

With the Unstoppables, Susana recreates adornment with a relaxed vibe expressed through a fundamental design approach; there is no “front” or “behind. “Our hands’ motion inspires the 360° perception present in each piece and the energy we project into the activity around us.
“The idea behind “The Unstoppables” was born after witnessing a great friend expressing herself with gestures, with her hands stacked with some great rings.

“I wanted to play with this expressive power and design a collection like a gift of mirrored routes embracing high-speed life and abandoning the conception of what is in front or behind.” SM
