Established 2015

An independent jewelry practice built through direct commissions, online work, and retail experience.

Shawn Simleness

The maker behind SES Designs.

Shawn’s public record describes a luxury jewelry practice that began in 2015 and developed through direct client work, online sales, and a retail period in downtown Chico.

2015

SES Designs is established.

Public business listings identify the studio’s specialty as luxury jewelry design and place its beginning in 2015.

Chico

A retail chapter at Urban Couture.

The surviving business description records a period when SES Designs work was offered through Urban Couture at 212 Main Street in downtown Chico.

Now

A rebuilt independent studio presence.

The current site gives Shawn one coherent home for the public portfolio, personal commissions, care, repairs, and the gradual reconstruction of his earlier archive.

Memory

The brand’s public language treats jewelry as a keeper of memories and a connection between yesterday and today.

Wearable art

A public customer review praised the work as wearable art and specifically noted the design aesthetic and craftsmanship.

Direct work

Customers can bring Shawn an idea, an earlier SES Designs piece, or a personal object that may be suitable for repair or redesign.

Public customer review

“I am so pleased with your design aesthetic and the quality of your craftsmanship.”
