Susan’s surroundings were inspirational from her earliest days. She was raised by a family of passionate antique collectors, with stores in London`s Camden Passage. They also had a deep appreciation for contemporary style. London’s post-war art and architecture scene was bursting with remarkable new designs, many of which could be found in her family house.
Designed by revolutionary architect, Walter Segal, her childhood home featured floor to ceiling windows, woodblock floors and a kitchen personally designed by Terence Conran. Classic Georgian furniture mixed with ultra-modern fifties’ pieces, created a remarkable atmosphere that would deeply influence Susan’s sense of style and creativity.
After years of researching antique and vintage jewellery reference books, scouring many antique fairs and charity shops including viewing many auctions near and far afield, Susan professionally turned her hand to antiques, honing an exceptional eye for detail and quality. Vintage jewellery eventually drew her focus and in 2008, she created Susan Caplan, fast becoming the leading curator for vintage jewellery in the UK. From her London showroom, she curates sublime collections of hand-picked pieces for the finest retail stores. including Mappin And Webb and Net - A - Porter.

Susan’s vision is that of a fashion economy that celebrates and reinvigorates the past in a way that helps to protect our planet today. Every piece in Susan Caplan’s jewellery collections has been approved by Susan herself and meets her strict requirements for authenticity, quality and condition.
