A Mar Libre

Barcelona, SPAIN

“A Mar Libre is a brand for urbanites who miss the sea, like me.”

Julia began her journey in the art world, earning a degree in Fine Arts and later a doctorate in design. Her love for contemporary art unexpectedly led her into the fashion industry, where she started designing jewelry. With over 15 years of experience working for well-known fashion brands, she became really skilled in this field. She's been living in Barcelona for more than 20 years, but she originally comes from Cádiz in the south of Spain.

Julia created A Mar Libre as a personal project because she wanted her own creative space to work without specific goals. She enjoys drawing, shaping, and designing things without any restrictions, letting her creativity flow naturally. She has a strong connection to the Mediterranean, nature, the sea, and traditional craftsmanship, but she approaches them from an urban and architectural perspective.

A Mar Libre's jewelry is all handmade and features timeless pieces with smooth lines and natural movements. Most of the items are one-of-a-kind because they aren't made from molds, so each one is unique with subtle differences. Everything is crafted in their workshop in Barcelona.
