about
German-born designer Julia Muggenburg established BELMACZ in London after studying fine art at the city’s celebrated incubator of creativity, Central Saint Martins. Reflecting twin passions for art and anthropology, Julia’s visionary designs fuse earthy materials such as Zambian mopane wood or Sri Lankan ebony with sit-sit jade from Burmese Matsu, sky blue chalcedony, fiery amber or mammoth specimen, a scattering of rose cut diamonds or rubies, and highlights of gold. The results are rich in intriguing contradictions: monumental yet tactile, powerful yet mysterious.
Each BELMACZ jewel is available in a strictly limited edition of no more than eight; many are one-of-a-kind pieces – unique, exclusive, and unrepeatable creations which embrace such fantastical materials as fossilised dinosaur bone, orbicular agate, rare angel skin coral, carved jet, hawk’s-eye, green amber, and trapiches emerald.
The Look
Rooted in ancient gemcraft traditions, yet boldly contemporary in aesthetic, BELMACZ jewellery seem rather like a 21st century take on the status-affirming ceremonial adornments worn in ancient times by tribal chiefs and patriarchs. Redefining such universal forms as the ring, the cuff, or the necklace, its gloriously original designs afford modern women (and men too) a very personal expression of self. The innate exoticism of BELMACZ beguiles the eye; its individuality feeds the soul bringing a whole new dimension in fashion, beauty, and extreme luxury.
