My name is Susan and I design hanmade, one-of-a-kind jewelry. I began making jewelry in 2005, after I lost sight in my left eye (I have been blind in my right eye since 2000). I was able to regain some of my sight in my left yee through numerous surgeries, including two cornea transplants. Since I have been lucky to regain my sight, 20% of all profits from my jewelry go to the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank, from where I received my corneas.

The Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Bank’s mission is to fulfill the wishes of eye donors and their families to help another overcome blindness through transplantation and research. Our dedication to this mission allows organ & tissue donors in Colorado and Wyoming to provide nearly 2,000 sight-restorative transplants each year. RMLEB is a progressive organization with a strong commitment to the achievement of excellence and diversity.
