We currently have at least three options of how the next piece of filigree from Seba Dizajn can be completed.
I wonder if Adolf has jewellers block?
I think he has jewellers overload, too many good ideas tumbling for space in his head, here are a couple design of options.
OPTIONS 1 & 2 (the left & right sides are different here)
OPTION 3
OPTION 1 – (left first photo)
Two additional pieces of turquoise to be used on each side of the necklace to complement turquoise centrepiece.
OPTION 2 – (right side first photo)
No additional pieces of turquoise used on either side of finished necklace.
OPTION 3
A piece of turquoise used on either side of the centrepiece –
(nb. All our filigree jewellery is made from Silver – the ‘gold’ effect in the photos is from the heat used to shape & weld the filigree pieces together, the completed necklace will be polished silver.)
We would love to hear your thoughts on these options – or feel free to suggest some alternative options.
If you would like to see how this necklace turns out please subscribe to our blog on the link at the upper right of this page.
I am very happy to report that the ‘odd ball’ of my post earlier this week is now winging its way to Germany. Fantastic!
Odd ball - goodbye.
There is something very satisfying about sharing objects of beauty with people who really appreciate them. It is great that we have been able to find this small space, tear out the bar that was in here until mid April, find some stock and get our shop open in such a short space of time. I am really happy that we have managed to do this in Croatia as well, things take time here – all things! Polako, polako (slowly, slowly) is so commonly heard here, but I am yet to hear anyone uttering the word brzo (fast).
But, best of all must be our small jewellery table/workshop. It is fantastic to have Adolf creating jewellery again after a break – we were in Scotland for most of last year, a month in Nepal and then 3 months with our family and friends in New Zealand.
I love to watch as the tiny filigree pieces are twirled, twisted, fired and beaten into something wonderful. I constantly marvel at the patience and passion that is involved in creating each of the pieces that we have in our store.
We have had some wonderful customers & conversations this week. For me part of the appeal of a retail space is the chance for interacting with people from all over the world. I must be a people person, although friends will probably warn you to keep well away until I have had at least one morning coffee – maybe two.
It is great to share a snippet of the creation process with those that are interested. I love to see the awe in children’s faces if Adolf happens to be using fire to solder some pieces together. Most of all I love the chance to share my lovely husbands fantastic skill & his passion for filigree/creating.
Hmmm, a blog around a song title relevant to our industry… nothing with filigree in the title springs to mind.
Filigree, your new best friend!
Here at Seba Dizajn/Seba Silver we would like to make a push for Filigree becoming the girls new best friend.
Actually our filigree could easily become the boys best friend too, have a look at our cufflinks on www.facebook.com/SebaDizajn or www.sebasilver.com a fantastic gift for the next birthday of someone special in your life.
Have just returned from the vet and it seems Fergus is having a bonus spa night, he is still a bit groggy from his op, not ideal to return him to his old haunt in grogged up state.
I will collect him at 9am and take some photos then.
In the mean time what has any of this to do with Filigree? I feel the balls theme may be revisited – Fergus has just lost his balls and Adolf has just made some beautiful new ones. Baby balls at Seba Dizajn…
