A love of antique scientific instruments led Julia to explore the workings of Orreries and their movement during her BA (hons) in Contemporary Applied Arts at Hereford College of Arts. This then introduced the kinetic element in her work, and subsequently her highly individual Kinetic Rings. These signature pieces were the starting point of her jewellery journey, which has now developed into a much more contemporary wearable style. Julia joined the team at Mike Gell’s in February 2018.
