Khorshid Joulaee is a Vancouver-based multidisciplinary artist and jewellery designer with over 15 years of professional experience in silversmithing and contemporary jewellery. Her work explores the relationship between ornament and identity—how a small object worn on the body can carry memory, culture, and personal symbolism.

Khorshid studied handicrafts at Art University of Tehran, where she developed a strong foundation in material-based practices and worked with metal, clay, textile, resin, and wood. Since 2011, she has been designing and fabricating handmade jewellery with a focus on sterling-silver and small-edition pieces, balancing precision craftsmanship with experimentation and a distinct visual language.

Alongside jewellery, she has expanded her painting practice over the past five years, working primarily in acrylic and mixed media. This parallel practice influences her jewellery through an emphasis on colour, rhythm, and surface, treating metal as a canvas and each piece as a wearable composition.

Now based in British Columbia, Khorshid continues to build her studio practice through new collections, exhibitions, and engagement with the local craft community. Her work is defined by a commitment to hand fabrication, a love of unconventional solutions, and an approach that honours tradition while reshaping it into something personal and contemporary.
