Testimonials

Gathered from customers on Etsy where I have over 19,000 sales and thousands of 5 star reviews. Here are just a handful!

★★★★★ "It is beautiful and perfect." -RaNae on October 13, 2023

★★★★★ "I get compliments daily on how beautiful the necklace (Minnesota) is." -Megan on October 9, 2023

★★★★★ "I'm obsessed!! It is so cute and dainty and PERFECT! And Julie was more than willing to accommodate my request for a gold band to match the gold state. Also, I am currently pregnant and approaching the end of my first trimester. I ordered a half size bigger to accommodate for any swelling my body does over the next several months. Once I'm not pregnant and swollen, I'll be resizing it to my normal size." -Amanda Quinn on October 5th, 2023

★★★★★ "I bought this item many years ago & bought it again for my sister's birthday, when I tell you she helped me soooo much throughout it all, she was AMAZING! Quality items, fast shipping, & most amazing customer service. Definitely recommend!" -Valeska Mena on August 28, 2023

★★★★★ "I wasn’t sure what size ring I needed. I have large fingers and have trouble with rings that fit comfortably. I feel in love with this ring and had to have one. I reached out and Julie responded quickly to my concerns. She offered to send me a ring sizer to make sure the ring would fit. She mailed one to me, I measured my finger and sent her the measurement and she made me the most beautiful ring. It’s even better in person that I had imagined it to be. I absolutely love it. 10/10 recommend Julie and her beautiful craftsmanship. Excellent customer service. Quick shipping. Beautiful work. I’ll be adding more of her pieces to my jewelry collection for sure." - A Cee on June 23, 2023

About the Brand!

In the heart of Austin, Texas, nestled among the vibrant hills, lies a cozy studio brimming with creativity and passion. This is where the magic of Julie Godsey Jewelry happens, crafting pieces that are more than just jewelry—they are tangible memories, dreams, and stories waiting to be told.

Jewelry, for me, is not just about aesthetics. It’s about capturing moments and feelings, marking milestones, and symbolizing personal growth. Each piece tells a story, whether it’s a gift to celebrate a significant event, a keepsake from a special place, or a token of personal achievement. My goal is to create jewelry that resonates with the most meaningful moments of your life. 

These creations are more than just accessories; they are reflections of both my world and yours. I love designing pieces that feel as though they’ve been discovered in an archaeological dig, with textures and details that give them a timeless yet modern appeal. With over 19,000 pieces of jewelry now out in the world, each item I craft is an honor, becoming a unique part of someone’s story.

My journey began over a decade ago with the delicate art of wirework. Each twist and turn of the wire was a new discovery, a step further into a world where art and craftsmanship blend seamlessly. As my skills grew, so did my repertoire. I mastered soldering, shaping sheet metal, and setting stones, each technique adding a new dimension to my creations.

In 2023, my artistry took a leap forward with the introduction of wax carving and lost wax casting. This ancient method allowed me to bring even more intricate designs to life, imbuing each piece with a sense of history and timeless beauty. Recently, my work has burst into vibrant color with the incorporation of enamel, inspired by the rich hues I encountered during my travels in Italy. Every piece now carries a splash of life, a whisper of ancient worlds unearthed.

Through my online store and indie boutiques across the country, I seek to connect with people, crafting pieces that celebrate both beauty and meaning. Jewelry, in my hands, becomes a medium for crafting tales and preserving moments, a way to intertwine lives and celebrate individuality and shared experiences.

I invite you to explore my collection and discover the piece that tells your story. Each creation is a journey, waiting to be a part of your life. Let’s create something beautiful together!!

Meet Julie Godsey: The Artist Behind the Jewelry

Hello there, fellow jewelry lover! 

I'm Julie, the heart, hands, and soul behind every shimmer and detail you see here. From designing to crafting, packaging to answering your sweet notes, it's a one-woman show and I absolutely cherish it.

My Studio Sanctuary: Nestled in the vibrant hills of Austin, TX, my home studio is where all the magic unfolds. Sharing this space are my husband, Matt (a beloved 5th grade teacher), and our trio of fur babies who've mastered the art of being royally pampered.

My Journey with Jewels: It's been a whirlwind romance since 2009, starting with clay and wire experiments. By 2011 my custom wire state necklaces really took off, starting the trend that's still going strong. While there are so many cheap mass produced options out there, my pieces are still made by hand, one little bend at a time. I think this makes it super special for each customer to have their own little piece of original jewelry made by my two hands. Fast forward to 2019, and metalsmithing swept me off my feet. By 2023, I dove deep into the world of wax carving and lost wax casting - every moment a delightful discovery. And trust me, the journey's just begun!

Muses & Motivations: From the rhythm of nature to the mystique of all things ancient and vintage, my inspirations are as varied as they are vivid. Plants, especially, tug at my heartstrings. On the sidelines, you'll often find me sipping an iced espresso, honing my metalsmithing skills, lifting weights, indulging in podcasts, or enjoying a cozy TV binge-session with Matt. Ah, the perks of summertime with a teacher!

Etsy & Me: I opened my Etsy shop in 2009, and it's been a journey marked with over 19,000 sales. A peek into my Etsy shop reveals not just my evolving artistry but also thousands of heartwarming reviews from beautiful souls like you.
