My Story
From Pharmaceuticals to Natural Stones
Hello, I’m Jules (aka Viv) — the creative heart behind Resist2It.
This jewellery line was born from a winding journey of courage, change, and love.
Years ago, I worked at Johnson & Johnson — a stable job with a clear path. But life shifted when I met my husband and moved to the Netherlands. When our beautiful son was born, he struggled with his health. I found myself constantly rushing back from work in Belgium to be by his side. The stress of that tug-of-war pushed me to make a choice: to leave my corporate career and stay closer to home.
That decision led me to Tilburg University, where I began running an international foundation for sustainable development. I travelled the world, met extraordinary people, and felt I was contributing to something meaningful — until I uncovered the deeper layers behind Agenda 2030. The ideals no longer matched my values. And I believe: when you know what’s right, you do what’s right. So, I stepped away.
With no clear plan but a strong desire to create, I started my own path. I launched Jules' Lifestyle Passions, a web shop for high-end second-hand fashion and creative services. It awakened something in me: my love for beauty, detail, and design. Still, I knew I needed to build something of my own — something truly mine.
That’s when I began crafting simple bracelets. At first, just for fun — but friends kept asking for more. So I taught myself the art of handmade jewellery, one YouTube video at a time, choosing only real stones, natural materials, and meaningful energy. I’m not drawn to trends — I’m drawn to quality, nature, and authenticity. That’s the soul of my work.
Each piece you see here is made with intention and heart. It’s not just jewellery. It’s a journey — from a life of structure to a life of spirit, from mainstream to meaningful.
I hope that when you wear my creations, you feel a part of that journey, too.
With love,
Jules 💎
