These rock formations
stand a little over 100 feet and are over 600 years old. China is also the ancestral home to Julie Wee.
Based in Melbourne, Australia Wee’s workspace is cluttered with—among jewelry making materials—planks of Pacific Ebony, lemon tree branches, sterling rod, and a bag
of cement. Each item reflects the
silversmith’s restless artistic energy that is taunted by various sources of
inspiration.
Based on the jewelry collections featured on her website her
four-year-old brand, Miss Wee Jewellery, is yet again another testament that form
can bring personality or soul to a piece.
I love the essence of femininity in jewelry. I love delicacy but I can also appreciate
Wee’s no frills, buttoned-down design approach.
Her silver rings, silver pendants and drop earrings are
angular, sleek and mechanistic. Designs
are created without embellishment and the presentation of the brushed finished
sterling silver is so clear-cut the jewelry seems humorless, almost cold. Worn by models, however, the geometric angles
suddenly take on a chic and urbane face.

“I have a vast and varied palette of knowledge from which to
draw. I have studied jewelry making,
fashion design, pattern making and garment construction. After visiting Peru and watching the
silversmiths I developed a love for jewelry.
I loved Peru! I went back to
Australia and studied jewelry making.”
Without a doubt architecture, which is intrinsically linked
to geometry, inspires the designer’s unabashedly pared down aesthetic but she
is eager to experiment.

I have an ongoing mission to master the art of simplicity. At the same time, I love experimenting and I think creativity blossoms during this process.”
Note: There is no official website for Julie Wee at this current time.

It’s always pleasant to see something created by your own hands. And as per being the first love of every woman, jewelry possesses a special place in every woman’s heart. You have certainly given me some more options to try in handmade jewelry. Thanks a lot for that…
