Tim and Suzanne Foster have been designing and crafting fine jewelry together since 1982, building T. Foster & Company into a private, award-winning atelier known for exceptional gemstones, thoughtful design, and enduring craftsmanship.
From their historic Victorian townhouse in Yardley, they offer a more intimate alternative to the traditional luxury jewelry house—where clients work directly with the designers themselves. Every piece is created through a highly personal, one-on-one experience defined by discretion, collaboration, and meticulous attention to detail.
Suzanne Foster is a GIA Graduate Gemologist and Diamond Specialist whose expertise guides the selection of each stone and ensures every piece meets the highest standards of quality and integrity. Tim Foster is a Senior ASA Appraiser, Designer, and Diamond Specialist whose design philosophy is rooted in a lifelong study of fine jewelry craftsmanship and proportion. Together, they personally oversee every stage of the creative process—from initial concept to final setting.
Tim’s design work, shaped in part by early training under a renowned Van Cleef & Arpels designer, is inspired by the natural beauty of each gemstone he sources. Over the course of his career, his work has included more than 30,000 original designs, worn by everyone from film and television talent to business leaders, politicians, and artists.
Suzanne has played a defining role in refining the house’s production approach, working closely with master craftsmen to ensure each piece is executed with precision, consistency, and artistry. Her focus on process and detail ensures that every design is brought to life exactly as intended.
Today, the T. Foster & Company collection features rare colored gemstones, exceptional diamonds, and luminous South Sea pearls. The design philosophy blends classical foundations with a modern sensibility, resulting in pieces that feel refined, wearable, and effortlessly elegant.
As one of the few remaining manufacturing jewelers in the United States, every piece is designed in-house and handcrafted locally by their team of master artisans. The result is a level of creative control and personal oversight that is increasingly rare—offering clients a private, highly tailored experience comparable to the world’s most established high jewelry houses, but with the warmth and accessibility of a family-run atelier.
