About Julia

After earning a degree in Jewelry and Silversmithing, Julia Fluker worked at the bench in New York for 10 years, engineering and making pieces for a number of well-known jewelry houses.

The experience of crafting jewelry at the highest level, a deep appreciation for historical jewelry of many eras - from Etruscan, to Renaissance, to Art Deco - combined with her love of gardening and a fascination for the architecture of nature brought Julia to starting her own company, Maenad Design, in 1993.

Maenad Design produces one-of-a-kind and limited production pieces, many designed to be worn in multiple ways. Each piece is meticulously crafted to the highest standards, using specially developed gold alloys and individually selected precious stones.

These very wearable, award-winning jewels are as unique as the people who come to own them.
