ABOUT

Julie Bastian specializes in unique jewelry made by hand in her home studio in Madison, Wisconsin. Julie uses sterling silver, copper, and aluminum for her modern, simple and wearable jewelry. Julie enjoys collaborating with clients to create unique and striking pieces.

All of the pieces in the Portfolio tab have been made by hand, and may be used as inspiration to custom order a commissioned piece. You will find my contact information in the Contact tab.

If you wish to consider a piece that is ready for purchase and shipping, please visit the Shop tab. My shop tab is not yet “live” but you may send me a message to purchase anything from my Shop tab, or you may visit my shop via Etsy at JBmetalsDesign.

WINTER

Treat yourself or someone special to a unique piece of jewelry. Each piece is made by hand with an emphasis on geometric and sculptural shapes. Colorful copper pieces with patina, semi-precious stones, and brushed sterling silver are both modern and timeless. Whether purchasing a gift or treating yourself, know that your piece of wearable art has been made with care to be enjoyed for years to come.

CARE

To care for your sterling silver and aluminum pieces, store in the bag with the anti-tarnish tab (provided) between wears. Sterling silver pieces may be buffed with a soft cloth if desired.

To care for your copper piece, buffing and moisture should be avoided for the copper pieces with heat patina to prolong the coloration. Storing your jewelry in the bag with an anti-tarnish tab will also help to preserve the coloration. The sterling silver portions of the pieces may be lightly buffed with a soft cloth if desired.
