“To me, jewelry is every woman’s fashion signature – a way for her to express herself and her individuality.”

With a life-long love of fashion, Zhulia founder and creator, Julia, set out to create a jewelry line that would be fashionable and timeless. A collection that would embrace a woman’s desire for the new and bold, but at the core is always feminine and organic.

“Designing jewelry is my creative outlet. It’s a way for me to bring a little beauty and joy into each of my customers’ lives.”

Fascinated by Asian culture as a child, Julia spent several years studying and working in Asia.  Traveling to the villages and areas outside of Shanghai, she discovered the art of freshwater pearl farming.

Mesmerized by the beauty and simplicity of freshwater pearls, Julia decided to embarked on a new journey from upstate New York, to Southern California to study the fine art of jewelry making from the world experts: The Gemological Institute of America.

“Pearls are one of nature’s most fascinating jewels, making something so beautiful from an impurity. No two pearls are exactly the same, and it’s the artistic combination that creates a piece of jewelry that is truly something special. Something that can be cherished for a lifetime.”
