Jewelry with a Point of View: The Julie Vos Story

Julie Vos founded her namesake jewelry brand in 2006, fueled by a passion for designing the kind of jewelry she desired to wear and a knack for identifying a niche in the market for high-end fashion jewelry crafted with the standards of fine jewelry. 

Based in New York City, Vos’ journey started as a personal passion for creating opulent jewelry featuring gemstones and 24K gold patina, showcasing cabochons and innovative designs. Her inspiration stems from the vibrant city itself, her love for the fine arts, and her travels, where she interprets architectural details, art, and ironwork into stylish classics. 

The company’s ethos, “wearable luxury,” reflects Vos’ belief that jewelry should be joyful and make women feel beautiful. Each piece is designed in New York City and handcrafted using semi-precious stones, pearls, imported glass, and 24k gold plating over nickel-free brass, sealed to prevent tarnish. 

Over the years, the brand has garnered significant recognition. Julie Vos jewelry is now featured in prestigious publications like Vogue, Elle, W, and Harper’s Bazaar, and is carried by over 500 boutiques. The brand also made its television debut on Good Morning America in 2014. Vos creates six to eight new collections annually, and her jewelry is also sold in museums nationwide, including the J. Paul Getty in Los Angeles and the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
