Description
This bracelet features rich hues of green olive range, balanced with warm beige and punctuated by bronze sparkles. Made with hundreds precision-cut micro glass beads, stitched by hand one bead at a time into a fine adornment. Is lightweight, easy to wear, and has adjustable cord closure. The last images show the making process and the scale of the bracelet. This bracelet is part of the ITERUM Collection and layers well with other pieces.
Iterum Collection is where subtle and bold come together for a balanced expression. It features a small repeated pattern that evolves into the final design, larger than the sum of its parts. Life is made of moments that repeat over time, like patterns of thought and behavior. When slight but intentional shifts occur, any big change becomes possible over time.
Derived from the Latin phrase “iterum atque iterum,” which means time and time again, comes a collection inspired by the idea of loops and repetitive actions that, when taken together, create something unexpected and new. One needs to look closely to see how tiny transitions and deviations, from one step to the next, create this gestalt. The whole picture communicates something bigger than the sum of its parts.
The ITERUM collection calls us to pay closer attention to something that so easily tends to be dismissed – a repetition, a pattern. As soon as something begins to repeat itself, it is in our nature to dismiss it as a nuisance. Yet, with proper consideration of what is in front of us, we may discover something illusive but important. Numerous cells taken together make a body, many attentive acts develop into a relationship, countless days taken together add up to a life… We are built to detect patterns and we are also made to ignore them. By keeping the shift between the whole and its parts in focus and contemplating the seemingly “obvious,” we gain a new appreciation for the ordinary. Thus, individual pieces are meant to serve as reminders and notes to self about what matters the most, rather than as decorative accessories per se. The latter effect can be achieved by layering with other collections and by inter-mixing pieces within the ITERUM collection.
Beadwork care is simple. Avoid exposing your PORTOMEA jewelry to water, and remove before bathing or swimming. Avoid strong friction, and remove beaded jewelry before physical activities or sleep. For storage, select dry containers away from light – the box it came with will serve well for that purpose. Avoid direct exposure to chemicals. Drops of perfume, hair spay, makeup particles, etc. can alter the color of the beads, and so it is recommended that jewelry is put on after those products are used. Click HERE for more information.
