Juliet Sutton-Gee is the founder of Ouvelle.

Born and raised in San Francisco, California, Juliet spent two decades living abroad—in Hong Kong, China, and for fifteen years in London, where her two children were born. It was in London that she pursued an immersive, hands-on education in jewelry, learning directly from master goldsmiths alongside courses in design and metalsmithing. Her journey deepened during a ten-year period at the esteemed London-based jewelry house of Solange Azagury-Partridge, where she worked across a range of roles from sales to digital marketing and e-commerce, gaining an intimate, end- to-end view of fine jewelry from concept to client.

In 2024, Juliet returned to Northern California—a homecoming shaped by motherhood and a desire to offer her children the kind of nature-rich upbringing and strong family roots she had known. This moment of transformation inspired the founding of Ouvelle: a brand born from lived experiences, a changing sense of place, and a woman’s evolving relationship to adornment over time.
