Collectors Gallery Showcases Jewelry by Visual Artists at BRAFA 2025 
Celebrating the Legacy of 1960s Counterculture and Its Lasting Influence on Contemporary Jewelry
Collectors Gallery specializing in unique, artist-driven designs, celebrates the intersection of fine art and high craftsmanship, offering pieces that challenge traditional notions of jewelry. Tribute to Joana Vasconcelos, the guest of honor at BRAFA 2025 In tribute to Joana Vasconcelos, the guest of honor at BRAFA 2025, we are proud to present her creation: the "Extravaganza (Black)" necklace. Joana Vasconcelos reinterprets one of the most common elements in jewelry, the sphere—traditionally seen as the pearl—through this design, crafting one of the most sophisticated contemporary pieces with a neo-baroque flair. Made from sterling silver with 285 hollow and solid spheres in seven different sizes (ranging from 3mm to 52mm in diameter), this stunning necklace is part of a limited edition collection of 10 unique pieces. Each features a distinct color, with carmine red, white, and black as the first in the series. The necklace is finished with a thick rubber cord that complements the color of the spheres, adding both comfort and reinforcing its unique wearable-sculpture identity.
