3 Things You Didn’t Know About Peter Suchy Jewelers!

Our customers know that at Peter Suchy Jewelers we are experts at buying and selling vintage and estate jewelry. However, here are three things you didn’t know about Peter Suchy Jewelers and some may surprise you!

Mr. Suchy Has His Own Line of Jewelry

If you visit our showroom in Stamford Connecticut, you’ll be pleased to see that Peter Suchy designs and creates stunning jewelry pieces—a few of them can be seen throughout this blog post. Where does this passion for jewelry-making come from?

Mr. Suchy always possessed a love and fascination for estate, vintage, antique and heirloom jewelry. That love led him to explore gem stones from different time periods and to discover how pieces were created using hand fabrication techniques. Jewelry history is an area where Mr. Suchy excels.

For many years, Peter studied jewelry repair and gemology while working at Jack Newstadt Jewelers located in Norwalk, Connecticut. As a bench jeweler for over 20 years, he learned jewelry repair, fabrication, and design from the mentors that surrounded him.

In September of 1983, Peter left Jack Newstadt Jewelers equipped with the knowledge and passion he needed and opened Peter Suchy Jewelers. And, Peter’s vision of creating his own jewelry line is now a reality. Using diamonds, sapphires, and tourmaline gems mixed with platinum, and pink and yellow gold, Peter Suchy Designs are stunning, one-of-a-kind pieces and include engagement rings, eternity rings, earrings and pendants each with a personality that expresses his love for jewelry.

Mr. Suchy’s Qualifications

During his time as a bench jeweler, Mr. Suchy took this time to become a graduate of the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and is certified in gemology. Peter is also proud to be the official jewelry appraiser for State of Connecticut’s Attorney General’s Office.

Mr. Suchy Has Many Satisfied Customers!

Very often, Peter Suchy Jewelers receives emails full of kudos for eBay and in-store transactions. One such email came from buyer, “Matt” who purchased a 1920s Art Deco platinum European cut diamond ring from our eBay store. In an email, Matt told us:

“Just thought I’d let you know that I’m more than happy with this ring. The pictures don’t do it justice. It’s so beautiful in real life. I looked at lots of rings from various sellers on eBay but your statement about standing behind everything you sell drew me towards you. Plus the fact that you had the best looking rings! I took the plunge hoping I’d made the right decision and I’m very happy that I did!”

We appreciate and respond to all of our emails and we do indeed stand behind what we sell.
