craftsmanship

“ Each piece of jewellery I create is an intimate expression of my craftsmanship and vision. The process is deeply personal, with every design passing through my hands, leaving behind traces of my creative journey and imagination. It’s not just about creating something to be worn, but about transforming an idea into a tangible form, where every detail reflects the values of my artistic process. Crafting each piece locally by hand ensures that it is not just a unique object, but a work of art infused with emotion, care, and the creative vision behind it. Through my craft, I aim to offer a moment of connection, where my creativity and your experience intertwine. ”

Julia Bartsch

Every piece of Julia Bartsch jewellery is carefully handcrafted by the designer in her Paris-based atelier, where each creation is infused with personal attention and artistic intent. Using the ancient technique of lost-wax casting, a method known for its precision, each piece begins as a hand-sculpted wax model. From this delicate sculpture, a mould is formed. The mould is then heated, melting away the wax and leaving a negative cavity that mirrors the original design. Into this cavity, molten silver is poured, and once the metal has cooled, the mould is removed, revealing a jewellery piece that faithfully captures the character of the original wax form. Her manual interpretation of the crafting process allows the emergence of subtle nuances and inherent qualities of the material to play a significant role in the final character of each jewellery piece, resulting in a unique and one-of-a-kind creation.
