How are Zhulia’s Pearl Jewelry pieces made? Are they made in the USA?
Only the freshwater pearls and hand carved clasps are purchased from pearl farms and old markets in and around Shanghai, China.
Pearls and stones are hand picked by Julia a couple times a year, and then used to create each piece.
Findings such as clasps are made in the USA. Julia uses the highest quality German silk.
Each piece is made to order. Every piece is designed, knotted and strung by Julia herself.

Julia learned about Jewelry design/manufacturing and pearls at the Gemological Institute of America. She has graduated from GIA’s Applied Jewelry Arts program and the Graduate Pearls program.
