Vintage Julz – circa 2002 – Seed Bead Necklace – I See You
$30.00
Product Description
By 2002, my love for seed beads hadnt 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 theyve 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 worn as a necklace or wrapped as a bracelet
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.
There is so much I can say about glamjulz and yet there are not enough words to describe my love for them and the creator/designer, Monica! Working with Monica is so effortless, she is my go to for special events or a random Thursday buy! Whether it's picking out colours or telling Monica to do whatever she likes, I know it will turn out great! It never fails that when I am wearing one of my glamjulz pieces, I'm always complemented on them!I remember my first purchase and how excited and awed I was at the design, colours and style ~ I still get those same feelings with each purchase since then!!
