Julia Parry-Jones studied Fine Art at Norwich School of Art and Design, graduating with First Class Honours in 2008. It was there that her passion for contemporary jewellery emerged. She honed her technical skills through short courses in Hatton Garden, before establishing her independent practice as an art jeweller in 2010. Julia’s award-winning work has been featured in numerous publications and exhibited at leading galleries and shows across the UK.
Narrative has always been central to Julia’s practice, but a significant period of ill health led to a shift in focus towards emotional and psychological themes. Her recent work explores internal landscapes through mark-making and repetition, transforming the abstract and ephemeral into tangible, wearable forms.
Julia’s interdisciplinary approach blends traditional techniques with experimental processes, where asymmetry and hidden details invite curiosity and reflection. Her pieces act as wearable sculptures, quietly advocating the social and emotional impact of handmade narrative objects.
