Crystal glass from the cupboard to the dressing room

Anna Orska visited the Julia crystal glass manufactory, which has been creating items for connoisseurs of good design for more than 150 years. Working with glassworkers and ornament makers, she created fine crystal pieces, which were set in gold-plated brass frames. Deep cutting, engraving and polishing make the crystal sparkle with many colors and stand out with rich ornamentation and spectacular brilliance. The Julia collection gives new meaning to traditional crystal glass, which is classically associated with sumptuous tableware and family heirlooms. ORSKA metaphorically takes it from the cupboard to the dressing room and turns it into an everyday object. The jewelry forms encourage us to release the glass from behind the display case and enjoy it in everyday life.

Jewelry collection inspired by crystal glass from the Huta Julia

Anna Orska visited Piechowice, where under the watchful eye of glassworkers and decorators she learned the secrets of making crystal glass. Its connection to the jewelry tradition is not obvious, but should not come as a surprise. Sparkling and perfectly clear crystal glass reflects light like diamonds and is most often decorated with the so-called brilliant cut. The latest Julia jewelry collection is the result of a journey in which ORSKA returns to the roots of glassmaking traditions and combines them with jewelry craftsmanship. The geometric, hand-cut forms were set in brass - and for the first time - gold-plated settings.

Double necklace with large faceted crystal

The necklace was handmade from gold-plated brass. It consists of a double box chain, a round pendant with a crystal, and a carabiner-type clasp with a few centimeter extension ending with the ORSKA logo. In addition, the chains are decorated with tiny gold triangles. Faceting gave the crystal a geometric form, and deep cuts made it shimmer with many colors and stand out with unconventional decoration. The necklace is 100% handmade.

The perfect gift for...

The crystal necklace will be a good birthday or name day gift for any person who loves artistic jewelry. It will work great as a gift for the 15th (crystal) wedding anniversary. Crystal products are known for their striking brilliance and excellent transparency - their name comes from rock crystals that sparkle in the sunlight. They are perfect for elegant glamour styling.

Crystal glass is created according to the idea of less waste: up to 60% is made from cullet and can be easily recycled. Such a gift will be appreciated by any environmentally conscious person.

Crystal glass from Huta Julia

In the last century, glass factories were thriving in the Karkonosze Mountains, making the region the main crystal glass center in Poland. Over time, however, glassmaking traditions began to die out. To this day, only one place remains to carry the history of this craft in the region: Huta Julia (Julia Glassworks). For the past few months, the country's last crystal glass factory has become the studio of Anna Orska, a jewelry designer who visits workshops around the world in search of rare, dying crafts. The heritage of the Piechowice designers inspired the ORSKA brand to engage in a dialogue with the tradition of glasswork. In the Julia jewelry collection, it is the cut that defines the form and gives it meaning. Anna Orska adapted individual cuts and combined them to create completely new designs. The crystal pieces were set in the ORSKA workshop in gold-plated brass forms.

Gold-plated necklace with crystal pendant

The necklace consists of a box chain, a pendant with a round crystal, and a lobster claw clasp finished with the ORSKA logo. The necklace is adjustable to three different lengths. Thanks to deep cuts and faceting, the pendant stands out for its original form and texture. A transparent faceted crystal attached to the back adds the finishing touch to the necklace. The necklace is 100% handmade.

How to style long necklaces?

Adjustable necklace is an excellent choice for both day and evening outfits - balls, weddings or banquets. It looks best with "V" necklines, and can be paired with blouses, shirts or evening gowns. Thanks to careful polishing, it spreads brilliance and illuminates the entire creation. It is enough to match it with small accessories, such as delicate stud earrings or bracelets of the same color. Necklaces of this type also match simple turtlenecks adding a unique character to them.

The Julia Collection of gold-plated artistic jewelry

The Julia collection gives new meaning to traditional crystal glass, which is classically associated with sumptuous tableware and family heirlooms. ORSKA metaphorically takes it from the home to grand occasions, incorporating it into festive outfits. The motif of feasting is still present in the collection, but has been adapted to new circumstances. The artistic jewelry forms emphasize the everyday celebration of fleeting moments of joy.

The base of the bracelet is a brass band, which can be easily slipped onto the wrist. The main decoration is a round piece of crystal glass placed in the center of the bracelet. In the Julia jewelry collection, it is the cut that defines the form and gives it meaning. Anna Orska adapted the individual cuts and combined them to create completely new designs. The cuts on the surface of the bracelet were arranged in the shape of a leaf. The whole thing resembles the stem of a plant, which lightly wraps around the wrist. The crystal was created by glassworkers from the Huta Julia, and the brass, gold-plated setting was created by ORSKA jewelers. The result of this collaboration is 100% handmade artistic jewelry from the Julia collection.

Bracelet for a special occasion

The right bracelet can emphasize elegance and add a unique touch to any style. For special occasions, a good choice will be massive silver or gold bracelets with precious stones or crystals of larger sizes. Combined with an evening outfit, the bracelet will emphasize the unique character of the celebration. The stiff bracelet with a crystal will also work well as a gift for a loved one who likes original items with their own story.

The brooch goes well with handbags and scarves. You can pin it on the end of a scarf or close to the neck, creating an original necklace. Are you bored with your handbag? A brooch is the perfect way to add a fresh touch to it. Pin it to the strap of your handbag or directly on its front.

The crystal glass elements were created at the Huta Julia, while the gold-plated brass settings were made at the ORSKA workshop. The collection is complemented by jewelry made entirely of metal, which is a reinterpretation of traditional designs of crystalware, consisting of a large number of fine cuts. ORSKA organized the fine facets into rows and made them the main ornamental motif of the gold-plated jewelry.

Minimalist gold-plated stud earrings

The square-shaped earrings were hand-formed from brass and then gold-plated by ORSKA jewelers. The original cuts gave them a distinctive look reminiscent of crystal facets. The artistic stud earrings will work well with everyday outfits. Combined with the impressive necklace with crystal glass or the ring with a large cut crystal, they will also decorate clothes for special occasions.

Crafts of the World - crystal glass from Huta Julia

Anna Orska, visiting workshops of the world, discovers rare crafts, often completely unrelated to jewelry, and adapts them to jewelry forms. A Polish manufactory with a long tradition, located in the heart of the Karkonosze Mountains, has recently appeared on the trail of her expeditions. Huta Julia, located in Piechowice, is a small manufactory producing crystal glass products. Hand-formed, thanks to blowing, pressing and free-form techniques, and decorated glass has been produced within its walls for 150 years. This last crystal glass factory in Poland is a place for glassworkers and decorators from all over the region to perfect their craft. Its heart is the people. One glass, vase or decanter passes through 25 pairs of hands. Creating the perfect glass requires not only patience, but also great precision.

Nothing is wasted at the Julia Glassworks, as the glass produced consists of 60% cullet and can be easily recycled. The mass, heated at 1,200 degrees Celsius, is poured into wooden molds. The material is very malleable for only a short while, after which it quickly cools and hardens. The molded mass goes to the annealer and is then richly decorated. The characteristic ornaments from Piechowice are among the most popular in the world, many of them original, developed by the designers of the Julia Glassworks. Today, traditional designs are often combined with other materials, proving that tradition and avant-garde get along.

The Julia Collection – handmade jewelry from two workshops

The crystal elements adorning the jewelry in the Julia collection were created at the Julia Glassworks. The ORSKA workshop made delicate brass circular molds, as those traditionally used and made of wood proved too large for Anna Orska's designs. Once the drops of liquid glass solidified in the metal circles, they were cooled, and then each piece was decorated with a unique cut. The finished discs made their way to the jewelers' table, where, under the watchful eye of the ORSKA masters, they were transformed into long necklaces, drop earrings or magnificent rings.

The Julia collection is the first ORSKA collection to be made of gold-plated brass. We used 23.5 carat metal, which both protects the jewelry and gives it a warm hue.

The limited jewelry collection - Julia

Glassworks and jewelry have a lot in common, although the connection is not obvious. Perfectly clear crystal glass disperses light, making it sparkle with the colors of the rainbow. For its processing, the so-called diamond cut is often used, thanks to which the resulting artifact can look like a diamond. Traditionally, the ornamental cut hid tiny imperfections and air bubbles that got into the glass molds and disturbed their perfect transparency. Anna Orska reversed this process and let the cut define the shape. She reinterpreted traditional Piechowice ornaments, creating her own compositions that adorn the handmade jewelry in the Julia collection. Working with Karkonosze artisans, she set crystal glass in a completely different context. She moved it from the cupboard to the dressing room. As a result, the striking qualities of crystal glass can be admired adorning ears, necklines and wrists, not only during formal occasions.

Jewelry from the Julia collection - how to wear designs with crystal glass?

Handcrafted jewelry from the Julia collection attracts attention. The crystal glass is unique and striking, and the brass settings delight with their elegant shapes. This juxtaposition of geometric minimalism and organized cuts with artistic material and rich ornamentation has resulted in a collection that will satisfy the most demanding tastes. Crystal glass is sometimes called glass for connoisseurs. Anna Orska reflected this characteristic in her jewelry. The Julia collection will delight the most discerning artistic souls who are sensitive to true beauty.
