Juliana's Creations Jewelry Giveaway! CLOSED



I am always amazed at the talent I find on the internet, especially when the quality of work is fantastic and affordable. What impresses me more is the time and effort the artisans I review put into their products. I know creativity is a gift. I also know how much work it is... and I am even more amazed when someone with serious medical issues pushes through and uses their talent, their art, as a form of healing.

Afterall, "Art is Healthy" as Juliana from Juliana's Creations Jewelry has been made clear through her line of Art Is Healthy t-shirts.

Juliana has been making jewelry for 25 years. She started as a teenager when her mother, who worked near the theater district in NYC, brought home some beads and cool items. Juliana began creating straight away.

In 1993, she became very ill as a grad student. Initially doctors thought she had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. It kept her home for years, but with the ability to order beads by mail, Juliana made a lot of jewelry. Now 17 years later, with a new doctor on board, Juliana has a diagnosis of hypoadrenia (low adrenal function) and other hormone imbalances. She is now is working towards a cure with bioidentical hormone replacement therapy known as BHRT... and continuing to make incredible jewelry to help her heal.

Her inspiration comes from beads, fellow artisans, magazines, etc. She sees potentially endless combinations in the materials! There are a few stores in Connecticut that keep her busy making things. As for the future, she simply plans to keep expanding Juliana's Creations by creating new items, doing craft shows, selling on Etsy, working with stores.



Juliana's products are classic, tasteful, and approprate for work and formal occasions. She works primarily with freshwater pearls, gemstones, and glass. She always uses the best quality materials and combines them with an excellent design sense for beautiful jewelry.

And now Juliana would like to add to your good health by offering one of you the chance to win a $25 gift certificate to Juliana's Creations Etsy store!
