Julie Teeples is the owner and designer for Oak City Gallery.
I've always loved jewelry but not the kind being mass produced and sold in every department store. I like to wear something that's truly my own, original; something I'll never see on some one else. I like being approached with "Where did you get that beautiful bracelet?" or "I've been admiring your necklace, where did you get it?"

Let's be honest, it makes us feel good; it makes us feel special, and why not? What you wear should make you feel good and become your signature piece. If you're looking for jewelry you want something no one else has, not something off the rack. You want your piece to be individual and distinctive, you don't want to see someone wearing the same thing you are.

That's why I love to design jewelry. I design for someone who wants to make their own individual statement, be it one signature piece, many, or just a tiny piece. If you have it, show it off, that's why we buy and wear jewelry.

Whatever you choose you'll be confident it's your own and it'll make you happy. If I can bring a smile to your face when you receive your jewelry, you've made my efforts worth it. Enjoy what you wear, have fun with it, you deserve it.

For those who haven't seen me in a while, don't worry; I'm alive, well and living in Utah at the base of a beautiful canyon with my loving husband. Out my studio window I can see our horse, our llamas, our dogs, our cat, rabbits and any wildlife deciding to wonder down from the canyon. My studio is where I spend most of my time making jewelry and fulfilling your requests; not to mention looking out at thousands of acres of beauty for my inspiration.
For my friends wondering about my other art work besides jewelry, not to worry, be patient. I'm working on another web site. Drop me an email so you'll be the first to know when we launch that site. Hope to hear from all of you soon.

All jewelry is handcrafted in my studio using sterling and fine silver, semi-precious and lab grown gems, natural stones, lampwork focal beads, dichroic glass, carved wood beads, Swarovski crystals and a variety of fine materials from around the world. Some finished components may have been used. Many of the lampwork beads have been made in my studio.

Each dichroic glass piece is irresistibly unique. Even though some may be in the same color range, they are difficult and almost impossible to reproduce. Dichroic glass is much more spectacular in person than online photos. All dichroic pieces have been created by the artist.
