This necklace is part of the Pollock line and is called Jackson. In this collection, Sobral shows that action painting evokes feelings and movements. Sobral invites you to perceive the feeling colors imprint on your heart. So from an observer you become the author of this magical reverie. Be light and enjoy the trip! Pollock, Kline, Motherwell, Gorky, Hoffman, De Kooning and so many other abstractionists are remembered with respect and praise by Sobral in this collection that drinks from the waters of this movement. This necklace is the Gorky Azul version. It features 7 square beads with a stunning blue, green and white marbled pattern. They measure in diameter 1 3/4", 1/4", 1" and a little over 3/4". The side of each piece does vary, making this reversible. The length of the strand is adjustable up to 19".
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 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.
