I have been collecting information about jewelry and jewelry artists for almost fifty years. When the internet started, I realized that I could share this information to help others educate themselves and learn more about jewelry and the artists behind it. Metalcyberspace has evolved over the years to include more jewelry artists than ever. It began as my personal library, then was incorporated as part of my Sarantos website which it quickly outgrew to become the entity that it currently is now. Before the website existed, I was an active member of numerous organizations and connected people from the various places to each other. Most jewelers were isolated in their own studios and local communities before social networking existed and were hungry for the contact with others in similar situations. After social networking took over I decided to keep Metalcyberspace around to help organize the chaos of information overload.

Created by independent studio jeweler Susan Sarantos in 1999 Metalcyberspace is a labor of love. The archive in my studio contains over 900 binders (and growing) with information on anything jewelry related which I have collected. Books, magazines and catalogs also take up  a huge section of my space.
