Julie Owen – SilverZeebra

My name is Julie, and I’m the heart and hands behind Silver Zeebra Jewellery. My journey with silver began in 2020 when I enrolled in a silver-making course. What started as a hobby quickly grew into a full-blown passion, and I’ve never looked back. I spend most of my time designing and creating silver and gold jewellery from my little home workshop in Surrey. Every piece I make is entirely handmade using traditional techniques. I work with recycled materials wherever possible, often melting and reforming the metal myself. While I mainly work with sterling silver, I’m drawn to the contrast between silver and gold, often adding delicate gold accents to my designs. Why Silver Zeebra? Zebras symbolise individuality, harmony, and freedom. Their bold stripes are a beautiful reminder that standing out is powerful—no two are ever the same. They inspire confidence, and I hope my jewellery encourages you to embrace what makes you unique and wear your stripes with pride.
