Every piece begins
with a line.
Before the gold, before the polish, there is a pencil moving across paper. A shell, a wave, an island. This is how a SESEL piece is born.
We start where the sea starts.
The whole archipelago, taken from the charts as it truly lies. Every bay, every point, every small island in her place.
Then the jeweler's sheet comes out.
The island is set up like any fine instrument. A true circle for the eyelet. Mahé at the centre, and every small island around her set exactly where the chart puts them. Nothing invented, nothing left out.
Then the island
leaves the paper.
The drawing is cut, finished in 18k gold vermeil and polished by hand. Turn the Mahé medallion yourself — the main island and every islet, struck as one.
Made, not manufactured.
Cut to the chart
Each island is cut along its true coastline, and the small islands beside Mahé and Praslin are cut with her, exactly where they belong.
Gold vermeil, by hand
Finished in 18k gold vermeil and polished until the whole coastline catches the light at once.
Numbered and recorded
Every piece leaves with a numbered certificate card, and its number stays in our register for life.
