Julie Verfaillie’s path reflects resilience and creativity. Initially a jazz singer trained at Collège Lionel Groulx, she redirected her passion to visual arts following a vocal injury, earning a degree from Concordia University in 2011. By 2014, Julie was fully immersed in jewelry making, with nature’s healing elements as her core inspiration. She champions eco-friendly practices, using recycled materials and ethical stones, and opened her Montreal boutique in 2018 to connect directly with her clients. Venturing into lapidary arts and cutting precious stones in 2020, Julie launched a YouTube channel in 2024, spotlighting Quebec and Canadian minerals.
