In 2008, Gillian Julius launched her eponymous line of jewelry. Her trademark use of multi-plated tubes strung together onto waxed cotton have made her pieces instantly recognizable. Following her start as a fashion editor in her native South Africa, Julius went on to become the President of Design, Merchandising, and Marketing for French Connection UK. Her talent for spotting and setting trends proved invaluable when she introduced her own collection of jewelry. Today, Gillian Julius is flourishing with an ever-expanding collection and celebrity following, and her wares can be found in luxury boutiques and retailers worldwide.
