Julie Cohn Design
Julie Cohn’s creative endeavors have come together to form her unique vision and aesthetic, characterized by the tension between rough and refined, primitive and modern, ultimately paring things down to their essence.
Educated as a painter and printmaker Julie studied the craft of bookbinding and box-making to house her prints which lead her down a diverse design path that included rugs, textiles, hardware, tabletop, collaborations with architects and public art.
As a self-taught jeweler, her approach is unconventional in process and begins by working directly with materials rather than sketching a preconceived idea. She finds inspiration in nature, primitive ethnic forms, indigenous crafts and old world processes. Her pieces are about possibilities for layering and stacking to create personal collages that uniquely juxtapose disparate elements with simple elegance.

We use a special finish on our bronze pieces, which protects them from tarnishing and discoloring your skin. We recommend using a clean cloth to restore luster on the pieces. Do not use any chemical or polishing solutions on the jewelry. Store your jewelry in a dry place away from water and moisture. Occasionally, the bronze will begin to tarnish depending on your environment. If this happens, please return to Julie Cohn Design and we will refinish your jewelry at no charge to you.
