Forty and fabulous – a very special bracelet

We recently completed a commission to create something extra fabulous for a 4oth birthday present.  We were delighted to be asked and the completed work is one that we are particularly pleased with and happy to able to share with you.

The request was for something extra special for a 4oth birthday gift that would commemorate a very special friendship.  The birthday girl has been living in Australia for the last 5 years but retains close ties to her New Zealand heritage.      A bracelet was decided on and we were delighted to incorporate a special design in each of the eight segments.

 A koru was incorporated in one of the segments to represent New Zealand and a gecko represents Australia.

The finished piece was posted to Brisbane and the birthday girl was ‘absolutely thrilled’.

If you are interested in having something created for yourself or a friend we would love to work with you.  We are happy to discuss your ideas to help you come up with something to suit the occasion or personality.

Use the ‘Contact Us’ link on this page to send any questions and enquiries, we look forward to hearing from you.

Creating a pair of Birthday Earrings

Last week we received an email asking for a pair of earrings from our facebook page for a 40th birthday present…… The original pair were purchased as a birthday present by a customer here in our Korcula store, Seba DizajnWith pleasure we set to making a new pair, here are some of the photos we took to illustrate the making of the birthday earrings.

We started by creating six small flowers
Here you can see the stems being connected to the flowers

A work in progress

Last week I opened up our work email account to find that a customer who had been in a store on the eve of our offical opening had written and ordered 3 pairs of earrings and a bracelet!  What a great way to start the day, and how nice to know that Rebekah wanted to order some filigree jewellery from us.

I remember when Rebekah and Monia were in our store very clearly, they had not long arrived in Korcula and were looking for some gifts and maybe something for themselves.  They spent an hour or so in our small store looking at our jewellery and talking with us, it was fun to meet them and to share a little of our filigree story with them.

Rebekah ordered 2 items that we have in stock and requested some pieces be made just for her sending photos of what she wanted.  I know Doka enjoys the challenge of creating something new and today he has been working on the second pair of earrings for Rebekah, the delicate filigree work is coming together and looks beautiful – even at this incomplete stage;

I have been sent some photos to Rebekah, sharing the progress on her order.  Next I’ll send her a link to the blog!

Doka and I both agree that the work looks a little finer than what we can see on the original photo sent by Rebekah, I am sure she will be delighted with her purchases and can’t wait to send them on to her.

If you would like to see more of our work please head to our facebook page where you can find a large selection of photos of our jewellery, and more work in progress shots.
