manifesto

 

local & personal craftsmanship

Julia Bartsch Jewellery pieces are carefully designed and entirely handcrafted in Julia’s Paris-based atelier. Each piece is individually crafted by Julia herself, infused with unique nuances and a personal character. All raw metals are locally sourced and cast in Paris, ensuring a fully local and sustainable creation process.

meaningful collaborators

For the metal casting and gold plating processes, Julia collaborates with small, family-run businesses based in Paris that are experts in their respective fields, ensuring the utmost attention to detail and quality in every piece.

precious metals & longevity

All Julia Bartsch Jewellery pieces are crafted from recycled sterling silver, a deliberate choice that supports sustainability and longevity. The silver used by Julia Bartsch Jewellery is purchased from a Paris- based supplier who is a certified member of the Responsible Jewellery Council. Silver’s natural durability means each piece can last a lifetime—or even several. Thanks to its inherent properties, sterling silver can be remelted, repolished, or replated as needed, allowing your Julia Bartsch Jewellery to remain timeless in both value and beauty.

made-to-order

Overproduction poses a significant threat to the environment. That’s why one of the core values of Julia Bartsch Jewellery is to prevent unsold stock from going to waste. Each piece of jewellery is handcrafted individually upon order, ensuring that only the pieces that are sold are created. This made-to-order system helps Julia Bartsch Jewellery avoid overproduction and minimize waste.

 
 

recycling & zero waste

Each piece of jewellery is crafted following a strict zero waste policy. The entire metal waste generated during the handcrafting process is collected and recycled locally to create new Julia Bartsch jewellery pieces.

expressive design without season or gender

Julia Bartsch jewellery speaks to a diverse audience that values individuality and embraces a bold, unconventional approach to self-expression. Each piece of jewellery is designed with a timeless, genderless approach, making it suitable to wear today and for years to come. Julia deliberately avoids following annual fashion cycles and fleeting trends, instead she is promoting sustainability and challenges outdated consumer habits.

transparency

In order to promote transparency and help to make informed decisions, Julia provides detailed information about the materials and manufacturing process behind each piece. Given the wide variety of materials and finishes in the jewellery industry, customers often face challenges in understanding exactly what they are purchasing. To address this, Julia Bartsch offers a comprehensive care guide, ensuring you have all the necessary information before making placing an order.
