Memento Bracelet in Walnut Brown and Jet Black

MEMENTO is the collection that speaks to the dimensions of memory. This vital cognitive capacity is like Ariadne’s Thread inside the labyrinth of life’s experiences. Like the reliable connection between one moment to the next, MEMENTO’s design is the connection of dots across the beaded plane. Trace it from one end of the design to the other…

Sometimes we rely on our ability to restore an idea or a thought to its initial state by mentally walking backwards from where we are in the moment and retracing our steps back to the place where we have started. The MEMENTO collection is challenging the notion that tokens and travel souvenirs are acquired for their social value, and instead is suggesting that their capacity to remind us of our experience holds the highest significance. In an ironic way, however, they also serve as an illusion that our memories and recollections will be readily accessible to us when we need them.

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.
