About Julie Nolan

Julie Nolan has a unique approach to jewelry making and designing. She takes her love of art, music and books into consideration when creating pieces. From the inception of JNJ to the present, her skill has been honed through years of experience, cultivating a dedicated customer base in the world of independent jewelry designers. Julie has also apprenticed with jewelers in NYC and has studied her craft with master jewelers Kate Wolf, Todd Daniels, and Blaine Lewis. In the Spring of 2022, Julie studied optical diamond setting under master diamond setter Alexandre Sidorov in Antwerp, Belgium. She completed and graduated this rigorous 3 month course at the end of July 2022. Julie's vision at present is to create small production collections and one of a kind heirloom pieces. All pieces are made by hand in Western Massachusetts. Each piece of jewelry from JNJ has a story. Whether it is a zodiac constellation inspired by a turn of the century Swiss calendar or a ring inspired by a 13th century Romanov Royal. Each piece begins as either a piece of wax that is carved, molded and shaped, or from a piece of metal that is fabricated into a master prototype. Julie Nolan Jewelry is made in house using ancient techniques of jewelry making, and all stones are set by Julie. At present, JNJ is a 1-woman owned and operated studio. Read their story
