I’m Julie, the maker and designer behind Stray Jewelry. 

I fell in love with metal smithing the first day of school at the Oregon College of Art and Craft. I was signed up to be a painting major, and after the first day of my metals class, I called my advisor and switched majors. I had found my medium. I work intuitively to create designs that feel simultaneously like ancient relics and futuristic talismans. I’m Inspired by themes of magic, mystery, space and multi-dimensions, each piece is designed and crafted with empowerment in mind. 

I believe that jewelry has the power to make you feel the most powerful version of yourself. I created Stray Jewelry so I could help others feel confident to step into their power, embrace their unique expression and live boldly and authentically.
