Sobral resin jewellery
Filed Under Jewellery | Trackback
R. Sobral is an award winning Brazilian designer specialising in handmade jewellery. With influences going back to the hippie movement in the 1960s, and then the fascination with resin in the 1970s, the global company Sobral was established.
As a company it is proud of the treatment of employees with benefits such as language courses, dance classes, acupuncture and an on-site physician. Obviously no child labour either! They also contribute to community projects helping youths with learning.
Then there are the products. The raw materials, namely the polyester resin, is a by-product of petroleum and usually discarded. The added benefit is that often this jewellery replaces items made fro ivory, turtle, wood and precious stones, thus preserving these materials.
