Julie Shenkman creates modern, limited edition jewelry, handcrafted on the California coast. Inspired by the colors of the ocean and coastal scenery, her joy comes from creating distinctive, beautiful and wearable jewelry for women who appreciate individuality and want their jewelry to reflect their personality.

Crafted with hand selected high quality semi-precious gems, mixed metals, and luminescent pearls, the collections are designed to be beautiful and easy to wear. Every gemstone, pearl, and precious metal has been individually curated from top suppliers worldwide.

Julie’s passion is using gorgeous color-rich semi-precious gems such as tourmaline, labradorite, opals, lapis, turquoise, apatite, moonstone, amethyst, and more, as well as beautiful freshwater and Tahitian pearls and multi-tone metals. Her jewelry is made with high quality materials such as sterling silver and 14K gold-fill.

Because many pieces are one-of-a-kind, they often don’t make it to the website before being sold. Follow her @julieshenkmanjewelry on Instagram or Facebook to see the latest designs, and message the designer with interest in a specific piece. Her designs can also be found in some local boutiques, such as Jupiter & Main on Main Street in downtown Half Moon Bay, and at local trunk shows and events.
