Giulia Barela’s creations are wearable sculptures, the result of a thorough research and refinement, yet contemporary in style.

Each jewel comes to life with the designer’s hand, which also gives the jewel a textural and multi- dimensional feel.

These characteristics are underlined by the designer’s craftsmanship - I prefer to use my hands because I chose the occasional irregularity and each mistake makes you closer to where you need to be - affirms Giulia Barela.

The jewels are moulded on the body so that they can follow its natural curves. Anatomical studies have been the designer’s stepping stone to achieve the desired wearability and lightness.

Sculpture represents for Giulia Barela the final outcome of artistic research and thought process that ultimately take form into a design project.
