The dream of doing sofisticated, unique and comtemporary jewellery in organic raw materials, began in 2011 and the first finger rings were produced in hard wood. The idea was inspired by sculpturs made by a very talented sculptor from Zambezi Valley in Zimbabwe. He is combining hard stone and hard wood in his art and many of the figurs have the most fantastic rustik hair in natural wood. Davis Sibanda and Alice Jul have since been designing and making the hard wood finger rings. In 2015 the ” BONZO ” finger rings came along.
HOUSE BY THE SEA have a permite from the Forrestry Commission of Zimbabwe to collect small amounts of dead wood from the Game Park in Zambezi Valley.
