About Seaman Schepps
Seaman Schepps was known for his bold approach to jewelry, often incorporating
unconventional materials into his designs. Since the 1940s, elements like exotic
wood, shell, and rock crystal have been combined with precious stones to create
Schepps’ signature whimsical style. His pieces are often chunky, with oversized
details that make a strong visual statement. The brand became particularly known
for massive bangles, large curb-link necklaces, and sculptural brooches.
Vintage Seaman Schepps jewelry draws from existing styles but reinterprets them
in fresh, unexpected ways. The Maltese cross brooches and earrings, for example,
were influenced by Verdura, while the wide cuff bracelets took inspiration from
Belperron. However, Schepps’ designs are far from mere imitations: the brand has
always stood out for its distinctive color combinations and unusual stone cuts,
setting its pieces apart.
Schepps’ fascination with exotic materials was sparked during his travels to Hong
Kong, where he encountered coral branches, carved ivory, and architectural
ornaments reflecting Oriental aesthetics. These elements later became key features
in his jewelry, adding depth and uniqueness to his designs.
