Julez started her creative journey in 2003 in Carlsbad, California, a coastal suburb of San Diego. As the director of a technology company, she developed considerable business acumen. Her ambition and creative drive was redirected when a dear friend, who later lost his life to cancer, gave her a small charm. “He inspired me to live in the moment, and focus my energy on my dreams, rather than my fears,” says Julez. Her creativity took flight when she converted that precious charm into her first jewelry design. Julez Bryant has grown organically from those very modest beginnings into a recognizable and established fine jewelry brand.
