About Julia Brice Designs

Before I started making silver and gold jewellery my interests revolved around reiki, healing crystals, Indian Head Massage and nutritional therapy.

​

It was during my dog walks on the beach that I started searching for interesting stones which inspired me to make some basic jewellery.  I was delighted with my first wire wrapped creations and the fact that people wanted to wear and cherish something I had made!

​

This gradually led me into the long process of learning how to create jewellery with silver and gold.  Over the years I learnt new skills and discovered stone setting, casting my own jewellery, working with Argentium, to name but a few.

 

I am also very conscious of helping our planet so I started to use recycled silver and reused all of my precious metal scraps by melting and rolling my own silver sheets.  One reason I chose Argentium was for its recycled properties.  If you would like to understand Argentium better please read my Blog.

​

As my skills grew so did my tools and equipment so I moved my workshop out of the house and was lucky enough to be able to set up a dedicated workshop and worked on turning my passion into a small business.

MY JOURNEY TO THE MOON​

​

Somewhere on my own journey of  I found a fascination with the moon. So much so that it began to influence many of my jewellery designs.  It started at a time when the moons beauty was a great source of comfort and I loved every phase and its gentle energy.  I admit I would often go outside just to watch the sky.

​

Each wonderful moon phase made me want to rush to my workshop and create something moon shaped!

​

This gradually led me to the thinking that as each day has its own moon phase, that handmade moon phase jewellery would be a unique and special way to commemorate a meaningful day and I worked on a design.  It was important to me  that it encompassed the whole moon and not just the shining part that we could see.  The thing I love is that each moon is individual so I can say that each piece is truly unique.
