Vintage Julz – circa 2002 – Seed Bead Bracelet – Connected
$25.00
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 love glamjulz for many reasons. The jewels are absolutely beautiful and handmade in Canada with care and love. Monica and her team are SUPERSTARS. You feel like a long lost relative whenever you visit their studio. Whether it’s for a special event or just a visit, you are greeted with hugs and smiles and made to feel special. When you walk through the door of the “jewel” room, you see all the wonderful jewels displayed perfectly. How can you not smile?? When I put a piece (or two or three) of glamjulz on, I know that I am going to get compliments from everyone. Every time I wear a piece of glamjulz , someone always asks me where I got it, who made it and how do I get the julz myself? Monica is the BEST!!! You can tell she totally loves what she does and it shows in everything she does. I LOVE seeing Monica and I always walk away with a smile on my face. I have to say I am a complete glamjulz addict!!! My husband is not happy about that, but hey, his wife always looks great with her glam on!!!
