Solange Imports brings with
exclusivity to the U.S - Sobral Resin Jewelry.
Carlos Resende
Sobral, a former artisan, has devoted the past 35 years in
the creation and production of jewelry made of polyester
resin.
As Sobral
says: “Resin has beauty in itself that no other material
provides. It’s also a politically-correct material. It's a high performance plastic, so the idea is to recycle it in
order to reduce pollution. Resin is also animal-friendly because it can resemble
turtle shell, ivory or amber without any interference with
the environment”.
The idea has
led to 8 stores in Rio de Janeiro, one in Paris, and a
network of exclusive wholesale distributors in 10 countries.
In 2004, 2005
and 2006 R. Sobral won the Bijorhca Éclat de Mode Fashion
Accessory award for his art
jewelry, won praise from Paris Fashion School for wearable
art in 2005 and won favorable
press from the Paris fashion media for sophisticated “hip”
handmade jewelry design.
Mr. Sobral
is today one of the most successful designers in Brazil and
maintains global recognition as a producer of sophisticated
hip resin bracelets and necklaces. His “Illusion” line of
jewelry is made from recycled resin made into high quality
art jewelry.
