WE PRESENT
SEPIA OFFICINALIS
Cuttlefish are extremely fascinating animals. Wonderfully similar to us humans and yet so different. It's like meeting an intelligent alien. Cuttlefish and cuttlefish race through their lives, making it hard to understand why they are so smart. They have so little time to use all their cleverness.
On average, they only live for one year. During this time, they use all their creativity to survive and reproduce. For example, they can change the color of their surface to express moods, or mimic the patterns of their surroundings to camouflage themselves.
Researchers recently found that they can count, are even smart enough to use tools or outwit their prey. In addition to the Sepia officinalis genus, there are many other fascinating species such as Metasepia pfefferi, the magnificent cuttlefish, or Sepia apama, a giant cuttlefish.
Ossasepia, the ancient art of goldsmithing
The technique of sepia casting has been known since antiquity. Silver is poured into the cuttlebone. The wavy structure is reflected in the pieces of jewellery, so that each cast leaves an individual imprint.
MESSAGE
FROM THE SEA
The habitat of this clever species, the ocean, must be vigorously protected. That's what we stand for. The enchanting sea creatures appear to us like ambassadors of the sea. We want them to be seen. SEPIAH wants to draw attention to the importance of promoting ocean protection.
We support marine conservation organizations with donations.
3% of our earnings are donated to organizations
which show the grievances of the oceans and actively promote zones for regeneration. Everyone can do something to protect the oceans. More about this here
We only use finds and waste products from the Sepia officinalis fishery for our jewelry production. As a matter of principle, we are against all overexploitation of the sea. It is ethically correct and sensible for us to use found objects and waste in order to generate attention.
