This dedication to living her life powerfully and with authenticity perfectly aligns with the foundational ethos of the Julez Bryant brand, which is the belief that women should feel empowered by the jewelry with which they adorn themselves. Her two most recent collections, Better Days and The Golden Collection, showcase Julez’ commentary on our shared experiences of 2020, and her belief in the importance of embracing the current moment.

Rather than allowing the difficulties of 2020 to hamper her resolve, Julez transformed the experience into an embrace of the many gifts of Mother Nature and its ability to dissolve any sense of loneliness and isolation one may be feeling. The Better Days collection features a selection of pieces portraying bright sunsets and warm, colorful rays of light. Crafted in 14k gold and featuring non-heat-treated, vibrantly colored sapphires which she selected by hand, the collection also reflects moments of nostalgia with her past. While designing the collection, in the Fall of 2020, Julez let her mind wander to her childhood, when she would race home to grab her roller skates and cruise along the side streets under the California sun in her Gloria Vanderbilt jeans, thinking about boys, art, music and life and dreaming of the future. The hope, excitement and sense of adventure inherent in those moments can be felt throughout this collection of pendants and charms.

Julez designed The Golden Collection alongside her daughter, Gia. Intended to remind wearers that the time to be Golden is now, the collection includes pieces that represents earth’s most valuable treasures, from hand-carved horizons to diamond-encrusted night skies. Part of the brand’s first delicate fine category, it was designed to be accessibly priced, making it an “easy to treat yourself” collection that will happily accompany collectors through all of life’s moments. Crafted in 14k yellow gold with diamonds, The Golden Collection is comprised of earrings, pendants, charm, bracelets and rings, and offers a bit of luxe for every day.

Julez Bryant Jewelry is all hand-forged by her team of skilled artisans in the designer’s studio on the Southern California coastline. Crafted in 14k and 18k recycled gold, often incorporating ethically-sourced diamonds and gemstones, her collection combines Julez’ love of bold shapes with soft, satin finishes and delicate hand-hammered touches. Julez recently expanded upon her business acumen with the opening of a bricks and mortar store, Gallery by Julez Bryant. Located in Solana Beach, the boutique offers a curated selection of jewelry from both Julez, and a number of designers and brands whose work she respects and admires.
