So-Le Studio created a sustainable necklace from discarded brass. By repurposing the material, the jeweler showcases how the industry can make steps towards eco-friendly manufacturing.
Rather than opting for precious diamonds and cold, Maria Sole Ferragamo typically uses leather off-cuts and metal shavings to create unique and sustainable pieces of jewelry. As such, Ferragamo used scrap brass shavings to make a standout chain. According to the designer," the value of working with leftover material is that there's always this sense of uniqueness given by the availability of the material itself." That said, the piece is designed with connecting sections of brass for a long art deco-themed chain. The necklace boasts spring-like chains interlocked in a unique design.
