                            GEORGIE GIRL'S STUDIO   Unique Handmade One-of-a-kind Jewelry

My name is Julie Chavez, I have made and designed jewelry for the past 12 years.  I live in the east mountains of Edgewood, New Mexico.  My style is contemporary and I love to work with silver, copper, brass, and semi-precious stones.

I fell in love with jewelry making after receiving a crystal beaded bracelet as a gift.  I became so fascinated by its design and thought, I could make one of those.  I did try and succeeded in making a crystal beaded bracelet.

My first formal training was with the New York College of Design.  It was a 6-month course in designing, making, and photographing my work.  But I wanted to learn more.  I went on to take 3 years of silversmithing. then to opening my own jewelry boutique.

I have such a passion for making handmade jewelry, and  I'm always open to learning new ways and techniques.
