Filigree from the Sea 3 – the finished product

by

How fabulous to have found such a creative & fantastic husband!

And now I am loving the chance to share his creations with you, we have started a new line of jewellery here at Seba Dizajn.  Simply called ‘Treasures’ this jewellery line was inspired by the sea and sea-side treasures that those of us who are so inclined tend to collect whilst wandering along the coast.

You can see in my previous posts the story of this piece – here is the story in photos; it started with this wee ceramic gem,

found on this Korcula beach (couldn’t resist including cute nephew and sister-in-law photo).

Mr Creative sketched a few ideas;

        

and added a few details….

The finished Treasure – a beautiful pendant and perfect holiday keepsake or memento of your special occasion or place.

Please contact us at sebacroatia@yahoo.com if you are interested in having us create something special for you.

Filigree from the Sea 2

A quick update on my Filigree from the Sea post….

I think it is going to be way more impressive than I imagined.  I love the small circles that will be hidden on the back of the pendant  –  they will reflect the small while circles on the ceramic treasure I found by the sea last week.

Please contact us on sebacroatia@yahoo.com if you are interested in having your own treasure turned into a beautiful piece of jewellery.

Thanks for stopping by,

Filigree from the Sea

by

I grew up beside the Otago Harbour and have always enjoyed ceramic treasures from the sea.  I love that each piece has a story;  Was it part of a favourite dinner set? how did it break? where did it start it’s journey to be washed up on whichever beach I am wondering on?

Yesterday I found this piece, robin egg blue with white spots blurring together, at the bottom of the steps that led down to the sea here in Korcula.  It is now sitting here on our working table here at Seba Dizajn and I look forward to seeing what Doka will create with it.

An experimental piece of seaside recycling, something new for the Seba collection.

What is your favourite piece of recycled jewellery?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Korcula stone inspired Filigree Pendant

by

Earlier this month I wrote about local inspiration for our filigree design here in Korcula.

This piece is a reflection of one of the many stone carvings here in Stari Grad.  We have blackened the finer filigree detailing to highlight the fine filigree work. 

We are very happy with the result, would love to hear your feedback, what do you think? And where do you find your inspiration for your design work?  Please leave your comments below and remember you can find a lot more photographs of our work on our facebook page.

Boots with bling

Wow! I have been doing some research on jewellery trends and stumbled across this fantastic pair of boots on http://njn.typepad.com/10x/ – a jewellery trends blog. 

Jeweller and gemologist Susan Eisen was commissioned to work on this special edition pair of Tony Lama boots.  100 diamonds have been added to the boots and they feature  & they feature 14-karat gold buckles. The boots celebrate 100 years of Tony Lama boot making – fantastic! 

The detail worked into the leather reminds me of filigree and I can see a strong connection between the jeweller and boot making.  Being the curious sort I had to head over to Tony Lama Boots (tonylama.com) and  learn some more, beautiful – perfect for a Korcula winter…..

It brings me joy to see traditional skills & crafts being utilised and preserved for future generations.  I have been looking into the Seba families jeweller heritage and can’t wait for my father-in-law to return to Korcula and share some of his memories of jewellery making with us (& you).  

There is a great story about Seba jewellers making a crown for the King of Serbia – I am looking for a copy of this photo at the moment and look forward to sharing it with you in a future post.
