$42.00
Product Description
By 2002, my love for seed beads hadn’t faded in fact, it had deepened. I started to explore all the different shapes and finishes of Czech seed beads, and it opened up a whole new world of design for me.
Czech seed beads have a rich history they’ve been produced in the region of Bohemia (now part of the Czech Republic) for hundreds of years, dating back to the 15th century. These beads were traditionally used in folk costumes and intricate embroidery, often passed down through generations. I was so inspired by their history how something so small could carry so much cultural meaning and artistic detail.
I wanted to honour that tradition, but make it my own. So I began stringing these uniquely shaped beads into new silhouettes mixing textures, finishes, and colours to create pieces that felt modern, playful, and bold. The results were lightweight, colourful necklaces and bracelets that could be worn every day or layered for a more styled look.
These pieces quickly became customer favourites at markets and shows affordable, unique, and full of personality.
Designed in 2002 using Czech glass seed beads in assorted shapes and finishes
Lightweight and versatile.
A mix of vibrant colour and texture in every piece
Originally priced from $20 to $50 depending on style
This design reflects a time of experimentation, tradition, and joy. Each one is a little piece of glamjulz history, handmade with intention and heart.
I absolutely LOVE my julz! You can't help but feel happier and extra special when wearing them, knowing that you are supporting a local artist and wearing something unique. glamjulz are the perfect accessory for any event, from hanging with your BFFs to a formal occasion. Monica's sense of style and colour is amazing. She has encouraged me to try colour combinations that I would never have thought suited me, and has been right on every time. If you have an idea for something, she can bring it to fruition. She has designed several pieces for me, and I have been thrilled with the results. One of the things I truly admire about Monica is her commitment to giving back to the community. She does many fundraisers throughout the year, donating some of the proceeds from the sale of her work, as well as donating actual pieces to very deserving organizations, bringing them much needed funds and attention to their cause.If you don't have any glamjulz, get some! You won't be disappointed, and you'll be hooked for life!
