Bio
Julia Muñoz is a Spanish artist and jewelry designer based in Paris.
Her artistic journey began in 2004 in the world of decorative arts, when she opened her first gallery at Marché Serpette in Paris, specializing in 20th-century design, particularly the 1950s and 1970s.
In 2021, she founded her eponymous jewelry brand, bringing together her passion for art, sculpture, ancient civilizations and contemporary design.
She works with the ancient lost-wax casting technique. Each design begins as a handcrafted wax sculpture, created without molds, following Julia’s artistic vision. The pieces are cast in bronze and finished in Paris with 24-karat gold.
The result is a collection of one-of-a-kind pieces and limited editions, conceived as small works of art where sculpture, craftsmanship and jewelry meet.
Today, Julia Muñoz is based in Paris and presents her work internationally.
Passion for Design
The jewelry pieces are unique items crafted using the lost-wax technique, cast in bronze by artisans in Madrid, and gilded in gold at a workshop in Paris. Drawing from her background as an antiquarian, Julia decided to incorporate this ancient artistic technique once used by European sculptors in the 1970s, rooted in ancient methods dating back to the 5th century BC. This introduces a more artistic and sculptural vision into the world of jewelry.
Furthermore, drawn to the energetic value of precious and semi-precious stones, the artist incorporates them into her pieces to lend them an even more unique and personal character. The jewelry from her collections features embedded gemstones such as sapphires, tourmaline, and diamonds extracted from antique jewelry, or semi-precious stones like lapis lazuli, dioptase, labradorite, and malachite.
