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.

A mix of vibrant colour and texture in every piece
