Introducing Artisan Susan Ely's "Granite Falls" Earrings
Crafted by Artisan Susan Ely, these exquisite earrings capture the essence of Granite Falls, resembling solid stone yet as light as a feather. Susan Ely's craftsmanship and the enduring allure of Granite Falls shine through in every pair of these unique earrings. The Granite Falls collection is a must-have addition to your Late Bloomer Gallery Earrings.
Bucket list: visit Copper Canyon in Mexico! Some long for gold, others silver, but copper is my metal of choice. I love the sheen when it’s polished, the burnished hue when it darkens and the verde gris patina when it ages. It’s even better when it’s hammered! I have a huge collection of copper jewelry and kitchen accessories and these new earrings reflect my passion for all things copper!
The falling leaves drift past my window. The falling leaves of red and gold….the days grow long and soon I’ll hear old winters song… (Nat King Cole)
The Falling Leaves Collection celebrates the arrival of fall, my favorite season. The earrings were created from mono prints I made from the leaves in our backyard.
Orange and eggplant… Not a color combo I would normally choose but one that Mother Nature uses fairly regularly—I’m talking about sunsets, in particular the ones I’ve enjoyed at the beaches on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Glorious! This collection is my little way of remembering. Remember with me here.
Another item for the bucket list: Sedona. The fiery orange and red hues of the sandstone formations at twilight, the creative energy… it’s said that for art collectors, Sedona is the mother lode. Yes, please and yes, please to these gorgeous collaged earrings as well!

Lavender Fields
Inspired by the famous lavender fields of Provence, this gorgeous collection is a dreamy combination of indigo, lavender and mossy green. Several pairs have additional adornments of hammered gold or Lucite flowers. Several pairs are reversible.
Red Rocks
Red Rocks collection calls to mind the red sandstone formations In Colorado. An Army expedition led by Stephen Long discovered present-day Red Rocks Park in 1820. The park was in times far past a favored campsite of the Ute tribe for it provided natural cover from the elements. Its earliest known name was the Garden of the Angels.

Late Night Collection
What do you do when you can’t sleep? I go into my studio and look through my scrap box; often I’ll find just enough of some interesting paper to make a pair or two of earrings. This is where you’ll find the most unique and quirky one-offs. Sometimes, not always reversible.
Easing Into Fall
Fall is my fav and I’m longing for the cooler temps, boots and bonfires but they’re just not reality yet; “too soon,” I think when I see the ads for pumpkin spice and meanwhile the temperatures are in the high 90’s.
I’m learning to ease into fall a bit slower this year. ReCollection Earrings “Easing into Fall Collection” bridges the seasons beautifully, with shades of fading pink and lavender combined with autumn’s brown tints. Copper ear wires hint at the coming season.
Orange Twilight
Orange and eggplant… Not a color combo I would normally choose but one that Mother Nature uses fairly regularly—I’m talking about sunsets, in particular the ones I’ve enjoyed at the beaches on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Glorious! This collection is my little way of remembering. Remember with me here.
Woodlands
Created with self made papers, then collaged and embellished with hand painted leaves and vines, dangling from copper ear wires = autumn in an earring! Discover the entire Woodlands Collection
Hot Mess
Hot Mess earrings are exactly what you need if you’re feeling like a hot mess! Throw your hair up in a scrunchie and slip on a pair of these boho-style earrings and you’re good to go. Collaged from hand-printed papers and metallic ink markings.
Stormy
This two-toned earring collection is painted with carrot tops from the local farmer’s market in shades of teal and inky black acrylic. Teal and white polka dots are hand painted on a black background. All but one pair of this collection is reversible.
Gypsy Collection
“There’s something calling me From way out yonder It’s just the Gypsy in my soul.”
Even at the ripe old age of eight, when I first heard this song, I felt it was written for me. I craved the colorful, carefree life, especially if it meant I could wear big hoop earrings!
This collection with its bright colors and patterns reminds me and beckons me to that adventurous gypsy life. Pair these with bell bottoms and a peasant blouse for the full effect!
Aurora Borealis
The Aurora Borealis has inspired artists and writers for centuries.
Its ethereal beauty and otherworldly glow have been captured in paintings, photographs, and literature. It is a symbol of creativity and imagination, inspiring us to explore the mysteries of the universe and our own inner selves.
Sedona
Another item for the bucket list: Sedona. The fiery orange and red hues of the sandstone formations at twilight, the creative energy… it’s said that for art collectors, Sedona is the mother lode. Yes, please and yes, please to these gorgeous collaged earrings as well!
Coffee Collection
If you have OCD (Obsessive Coffee Disorder) these earrings are for you! Made from antique book pages and painted with a handmade coffee concentrate, they are as addictive as your morning cup of joe! Perfect gift for your java-loving friends. There’s even a hint of coffee aroma!
Summer in the City
In shades of dusky peach, pink and charcoal, these collage earrings remind me of New York City on a sweltering summer day. Highlighted with swaths of metallic silver, they’re the perfect accessory for your summer
Midnight at the Oasis
In the darkest nights of our souls we cry out for light, for a glimpse of hope we can cling to, a patch of green amidst the barrenness. An oasis.
Midnight at the Oasis Collection was created using self-madee papers collaged and finished with inks. The midnight blue shade is enhanced by splashes of rust and pops of green making them a perfect accessory to transition from summer into fall.
Copper Canyon
Bucket list: visit Copper Canyon in Mexico! Some long for gold, others silver, but copper is my metal of choice. I love the sheen when it’s polished, the burnished hue when it darkens and the verde gris patina when it ages. It’s even better when it’s hammered! I have a huge collection of copper jewelry and kitchen accessories and these new earrings reflect my passion for all things copper!
