tradition | SEBA DIZAJN

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.

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.
