ORIGINS OF SEZA.
OUR ETHOS.
The “se”
Originating from the Arabic Sena’a, meaning to illuminate radiantly, Seza is at the forefront of sophisticated craftsmanship in the modern era. Sourcing all our precious metals from Italia, our artisans use the canvas of gold and silver to sculpt delicate and intricate forms into being. Using classical, traditional and contemporary techniques, our designs are artefacts of art and antiquity.
Seza is not about selling products; we forbade the use of the word. We adorn the body; extending one’s self to eloquent curated forms of art. Thus, We uphold the body as a temple and our creations are the Corinthian capitals that beautify it.
The “za”
Originating from the Arabic Zahir, meaning to blossom brilliantly, Seza tasks itself with the responsibility of revitalizing the world and its people through regenerative and ethical means.
Founded in the lush, awe-inspiring natural surrounds of Aotearoa, Seza was born from a deeply-rooted connection to the flora and fauna. The hues, tones, textures and pure artistic tapestry of the landscapes present a wonderful opportunity for creative exploration but also remind us of our responsibility to nurture and protect these biodiverse ecosystems for future generations.
Our ambition is simple, We will rejuvenate the Earth and eliminate poverty through design.
OUR FOUNDING STORY.
Founded by a passion for the arts and architecture, our atelier is curating a new legacy and era of jewellery design. Inspired by the ancient forms of Arabian design, Seza is the paragon of a refined classical aesthetic. Leaning on inspiration from the natural environment of desert sands, and capturing traditional artisanal techniques, Seza manifests bespoke, ornate jewellery that is a masterful work of art and no mere accessory. With a strong mission to uphold stringent ethical and sustainable values, Seza navigates the complexities of the jewellery industry using only recycled precious metals and abstaining from the use of precious stones to ensure an entirely conflict-free, transparent and environmentally conscious process.
To be innovators of jewellery design, we only use masters in their field. From sourcing our precious metals from the finest Italian lands to our atelier housing artists who have perfected their craft, we are the epitome of high-end, fine jewellery.
We are reviving ancient styles with artistic finesse, sculpting grandeur and majesty into precious metal. Yet, we are breaking away from our industry's bygone practices, pioneering contemporary techniques to rejuvenate the Earth and donating to charitable causes to pave the way for a utopia.
This is Our Story.
-
Concepted in Aotearoa.
Aware of our magnificent founding locale, Seza pays homage to Aotearoa through design. We are constantly inspired by the rolling tundra and ambience of Aotearoa and thus Seza was founded with the aspiration to rejuvenate our Eden on Earth through jewellery design.
Our headquarters are based in Auckland, New Zealand yet our influence is global.
-
Sourced from Italia.
Like the grape groves in the Toscana countryside, the terroir of our metals are fundamental to the core ethos of Seza. As the Seza saying goes, “what ingredients are to a chef is what gold is to the jeweller”. Thus, we traversed the world over to find the finest purveyors of precious metal and partnered with an exceptional, local studio in Veneto, Italy; supplying the canvas with which we brush our creations into being.
-
Sculpted in Italia.
The defining signature of an artisan studio is pondering on aesthetics of the past and reinterpreting them for the present. Our creations are statements of art portraying the harmonious equilibrium between the classical and contemporary.
Our atelier was to be the defining quality of Seza; to be unbeaten in artistic finesse and in sculpting works of art. It is thus that all our masterpieces are handcrafted and hand polished in Italy by our artisan boutique studio.
“ our pieces are not products; they are a canvas that convey our brush strokes ”
