About me
Hello. My name is Julia Pavlenko. I am the creator of Vottovara
I was born in the USSR in the city of Leningrad (now called Saint Petersburg). I have a higher education in economics. I worked as a bank operator, accountant, and marketer.
In 2017, I abruptly changed my profession and started working with WireWrapping.
In 2022, my life changed drastically again — war began, and my family and I were forced to leave Russia. For four years, we wandered between countries —Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, Serbia—and as of 2025, Kazakhstan has given us shelter.
In 2024, I faced yet another trial — a blood clot broke loose, and I found myself on the brink of life and death. At that moment, I realized that I don’t just want to practice a craft — I want to create true art.
Uniqueness in Numbers
Over 9 Years of Expertise
For over nine years, I haven’t just been making pendants — I’ve been creating artifacts. During this time, I’ve developed my own unique style and learned to listen to what the stone wants — and what the person who chooses it truly needs.
I’ve created over 1,000 pendants
Not a single one has ever been repeated. Each woman receives not just a piece of jewelry, but a symbol of her uniqueness. In a world of copies, this is rare. What you wear, no one else ever will — it’s yours, like a fingerprint of your personality.
More than 11,000 Hours of Mastery
I have achieved a level of expertise that meets the global “10,000-hour standard” of mastery. This ensures that every Vottovara I create embodies exceptional craftsmanship, refined skill, and artistry honed over years of dedication.
Global Reach
My pendants have been shipped to 27 countries across the globe. Your Vottovara is part of a global tapestry of art cherished by collectors from diverse cultures.
The Vottovara Creation Process
1. First Contact
Describe your wishes regarding the appearance of the pendant and which stone you would like to see in it. Send me an image or description for inspiration.
2. Discussion
We will discuss your preferences. I will ask clarifying questions to ensure the result delights you.
3. Finding the Perfect Stone
I personally select a stone that best matches your vision. It may be a rare mineral or a gemstone with unique energy. The stone will be chosen based on your preferences for color, shape, and properties.
4. Creation of 3 Sketches to Choose From
Based on your input, I will create three sketches. This allows you to choose a design that best aligns with your inner aesthetic and personal taste.
The price for designing a custom pendant sketch is $10,000
The sketch development takes from 1 month. After that, you can order the creation of the pendant.

Pendant with Seraphinite
Review
Miracles do happen 😍 I’ve been dreaming about this for so long that I still can’t fully believe it actually happened ❤ My kind and gentle friend gave me a miracle… a pendant with seraphinite.
When I found a delivery notice in my mailbox, I was puzzled. I had absolutely no idea what it could be. And only when I saw the sender’s last name Pavlenko did I realize what was inside.
The pendant is stunningly beautiful, incredible, the stone shines magically as if by itself. I’m overjoyed I’ve never received a gift like this in my life 😄 Words can’t express how I feel, I’m endlessly happy…
Jilia, thank you so much for this beauty, for the way you see something special in these stones and give them such a beautiful form.
Pendant with malachite
Review
I finally got around to writing my review! I’ve been following Yulia’s work for probably a little over a year… At first, I would drop by just to enjoy this incredible beauty, to get aesthetic pleasure and inspiration 🙂 Then I started visiting more and more often and realized I want to be one of those lucky women and own my very own artifact!
The most interesting thing is, at first I was sure I would order a pendant with either Labradorite or Apatite. But the moment I ended up in the album with available stones, all my plans changed in an instant I saw him, my future beauty, the stunning, fairytale Malachite! I fell in love with his color, his pattern, his shape…
I finally chose the setting and wrote to Yulia. And from the moment I placed the order, I started checking Instagram with even more excitement and admiration, watching new and new works of art appear (because you really can’t call these pendants anything else).
My pendant was made even faster than I dared to hope ))) When Yulia told me she had shipped it, I couldn’t sit still ))) I remember asking Yulia to make me a kind of “forest elf amulet,” and that’s exactly what my beauty turned out to be when he arrived 🙂 Now he’s my talisman, my amulet, and my dear friend 🙂
Yulia truly makes people happy))) A bit later I made a gift for my mom and ordered a pendant for her too, with the Obsidian she had chosen.
Thank you, Yulia, for real magic!
Pendant with amethyst and black tourmaline
Review
Last night I went to the post office and picked up the package I was absolutely thrilled!!! At home, like a little child, I opened it and gasped… such beauty, I couldn’t take my eyes off it. In real life, the jewelry looks even more stunning and vibrant! I was overjoyed!!! 🍒🍒🍒
Thank you, Yulia, our master and designer, for your exquisite taste and design execution!!! I was so impressed by the pendants that I couldn’t fall asleep for a long time I kept looking at them, touching them, pressing them to my cheek… they’re warm!!!
The holidays are coming, and now I know exactly which jewelry I’ll wear to the theater, on New Year’s Eve, and when visiting friends!!! These are not my first pendants from Yulia. Wherever I wear them, they always draw attention and turn heads.
I admire Yulia’s skill and talent. Thank you for your art!!! 💐💐💐🎁🎀🎈🎄🎉🎉🎉
Let’s begin creating a pendant that will become your story
