Vintage Julz – circa 2002 – Seed Bead Bracelet – Tassel
$35.00
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.
This piece is a tassel that can be attached to any necklace
I was lucky enough to discover glamjulz when my friend Rachel invited me to a trunk show at her hotel. I was pleasantly surprised! Monica, the designer, has truly created beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces. I am constantly getting complimented on my necklace and earrings when I wear them and they literally go with everything. I am able to wear them with my business suits or jeans and a t-shirt on the weekend. So many colors, so many styles. She can even give you great ideas on what might look great to wear them with and can do custom orders. I also love how charitable glamjulz is. At the trunk show here, Monica gave a portion of her sales to a local not-for-profit here in the Florida Keys and she regularly raises funds for other non-profits in Canada. There is nothing like doing good and getting something special at the same time. I recently saw a new piece I had to have and Monica made ordering it a breeze. This is not an easy feat considering we live in two different countries and are as far away from each other as could be on the continent of North America. I can't wait for my new julz!
