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.
In the mean time if you are interested in seeing any of Seba designed jewellery please head over to our facebook page, www.facebookcom/SebaDizajn
On Thursday 28 July Seba Dizajn is hosting a questions and answers session – we can’t wait for this chance to interact with all of you….
What is it all about?
What would you like to know?
That’s a good question, it is all about finding out what you want from us;
What would you like to know about traditional filigree, modern adaptations of the filigree technique, the art and origins of filigree. You ask it and we will do our best to answer it.
Maybe you are curious as to where the inspiration to create such beautiful pieces of jewellery comes from – I know I often am.
It is endlessly fascinating to watch Adolf work, sometimes he sketches ideas on a page, sometimes he will ask for my input, often it appears he is in his own creative bubble and things appear from his creative stem.
Or, maybe your question is not related to filigree or jewellery at all – and that’s ok too.
Why the name Adolf? I know you’ve been dying to know, join our question and answer session and will share what we can with you. How did I fall for someone named Adolf – I know my Mum was a little concerned when I first started talking about him!
SEBA Silver is a fresh new business specialising in traditional filigree jewellery, my husband and his family have been practising the filigree art for over 500 years. The Seba family pride themselves on creating stunning and original pieces of jewellery to be treasured for a lifetime.
Each piece is a labour of love and involves many hours of work.
If you would like to know more about the filigree tradition or our work leave your questions here and I will get back to you. Or visit us at
So, have just checked my email and see we have 3 blog followers, it’s a start… thanks for the support. some quote about from small things big things grow springs to mind – can anyone remind me what it is?
or leave your favourite quote in the comment box below…
SEBA Silver quote for the day;
‘There is always something left to love. And if you ain’t learned that, you ain’t learned nothing.’
ACTION and a CHALLENGE, liking the two in one approach.
I am very new at all this web business, SEO, etc and on a steep learning curve and loving it. Our business is new and physical footfall is small, with more time than I would like on my hands I decided to create a facebook business page. This page has become a great opportunity to share what Adolf & I have been doing with our friends and family who are not here in Korcula.
When we arrived back in Croatia 4 months ago our shop was a bar, negotiations on rent and other paper work ensured and here we are SEBA Dizajn.
Our aim in opening this business was to have a space where Adolf can work and show anyone that is interested the work that is involved in creating filigree jewellery. We wish to share our passion for this fine art and keep the filigree tradition alive. Today there are very few people with the skills, training, expertise or patience that we are able to share.
The SEBA family have been working as jewellers for over 500 years, there are many stories that I hope to share with you about the history and traditions of filigree.
