"

Jewelry has the remarkable ability to preserve what words often cannot. It quietly marks the moments that shape our lives, reminds us where we have been, and becomes part of our legacy.It is my privilege to create pieces worthy of those memories.

A life in chapters

From Chios to Newport Beach.

Founded 2009
  1. No. 01 · Chios, Greece

    Where it begins

    Born on the island of Chios and brought to the United States as a toddler, Julia grew up in California's Central Valley — surrounded by the natural beauty and hardworking spirit that shaped her appreciation for craftsmanship.

    Where it begins
  2. No. 02 · A teenage collector

    Vintage, first

    A love of fashion and jewelry arrived early. As a teenager she began collecting vintage pieces — many of which still echo through her own designs today.

  3. No. 03 · At nineteen

    Southern California & the road

    A modeling contract took her south, then around the world. Travel deepened an eye for architecture, fashion and vintage jewelry that no school could teach.

  4. No. 04 · 2000

    Interior design school

    After marrying and raising her family, Julia formally studied design and built a successful interior design career — while quietly sketching jewelry for years.

  5. No. 05 · 2009

    Julia Post Jewelry is founded

    A debut collection of twenty original pieces. Soon after, a dress designer invited the house to style Emily Blunt for the BAFTA red carpet — the beginning of an internationally recognized fine jewelry brand.

  6. No. 06 · Curator LA & Barneys

    The house expands

    Julia opened her Los Angeles store, Curator LA, and her collections were carried by Barneys New York. Today the pieces are found in select luxury boutiques across Southern California and worn by clients around the world.

  7. No. 07 · 2019 — 2020

    A year of healing, then Kenya

    Diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2019, Julia gave that year to healing and reflection. She returned in 2020 with renewed purpose, travelling to Kenya to help oversee the construction of wells and schools alongside the Maasai communities.
