Sobral Fragments Poti Orange Mix Beads 51" Long Runway Artist Made shops Necklace

This necklace is part of the limited line called Fragments and I am honored to be in possession of these special pieces which were done as a very special order for me. In conversation with Carlos Sobral, he said he went back through many, many bits and pieces that he has been saving for decades and incorporated them into these pieces. He named this special line "Fragments" because these necklaces and bracelets are parts of objects that have been undone and are made into pieces. It's what's left of old works going back over decades. They are excerpts from a book, manuscript or speech. They are fractions of a whole; sections; memories. He said each pebble with its shape, color and texture, tells the story of half a century of work in search of beauty. It is a workpiece of something that has been undone and carries in itself dreams and poetry. He also asked me to let everyone know that these pieces hold a special place in his heart.

In my special shops order I had the necklaces and bracelets done in 13 different color patterns. This necklace is called Poti and it is the Orange version. It is a mix of orange beads with several red, black and brown accents. This necklace is exceptional and wow! What a statement! There are 4 gold metalique inclusion accents with the strands graduating from three in the middle down to one at the closure. You can't help but feel regal when you it put on. What a rare beauty! The total length of the longest strand is 51“ and the shortest is 47“. I also have the matching bracelet available. Just as a note, this is the last Orange mix Poti necklaces.

The first United Nations Conference to address environmental degradation was held in Stockholm in 1972. Already at that time the designer Carlos Sobral was working with resin and creating new techniques and alternative products to reuse all the raw material he consumed in the production of his collections. All Sobral production strictly follows the current environmental standards; however, Sobral goes further by putting into practice the zero disposal of raw material. In addition, Sobral jewelry protects fauna and flora when it replaces what would be made from scarce materials impacting the environment such as ivory, turtle, precious stones, metals, woods and etc.. The international recognition of his work took place in New York at the Global Fashion Awards, WGSM, in 2010, when Sobral received the award of one of the three most environmentally friendly companies in the world.

Every Sobral piece I sell is signed plus it either has the Sobral tag or is on the Sobral earring card. Also included is a Sobral fabric jewelry pouch. Because these are artist made there are no two pieces which are the same and all my ads have the photo of the exact piece you will be receiving, unless if I have multiple similar pieces available. No unfortunate surprises when you open your parcel. I have full confidence in the Sobral product which is why I offer a return policy if for any reason you are not satisfied. If you buy more than one item I will be more than happy to combine shipping. All my items have been stored in a smoke free environment.
