Museum Shop Artist of the Month: February 2010

shop “I moved to England at an early age and grew up surrounded by the history, beauty and art of the U.K. After working in many media I fell in love with jewelry making and a jeweler! We had our own business in Camden Lock in London prior to moving back to the U.S.

I have been making jewelry for over 20 years. The natural beauty, color and healing properties of stones inspire me. My jewelry is silver with precious and semi precious stones.

I hope you enjoy my one of a kind jewelry with the beauty and positive energy of these stones.”

--Julie Scott
