Yulia Crystal
 
     I've been making jewellery and artwork for over a dozen years. I studied Journalism and Linguistics at University, worked as a journalist for some time, ventured into PR management in an entertainment field; tried my hand at graphic design; have been a full time web designer. Since I moved to Australia, I've worked as a jewellery designer for a couple of companies, and had my own jewellery business. These days I study design full time, venture into art history, photography, drawing and painting, so jewellery making is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. But it is just as fun as ever.
    All the work on my website is original, I create designs for every single piece myself, so when buying something from me, you purchase an honest, one of a kind piece. I do make duplicates of my designs sometimes by special requests, but there are still no two identical items.
     Designing is a challenge and adventure, I've always enjoyed discovering new possibilities and acquiring new skills. My website keeps growing, and more new galleries are to be added soon. Wish me luck with the new ventures and, of course, enjoy!
