I would never forget the grand opening of Uno De 50 very first store in the Philippines–since it was my birthday, and as luck would have it brought home a bracelet–which although is in “better arms” now of my significant other, has become one of her favorite accessories.
Such is the appeal of Uno de 50– knowing it has been meticulously handcrafted and is part of a very limited collection, you cant help but relate it to your own uniqueness. The brand started out with the original philosophy of creating exclusively 50 units of each design, thereby supplying the brand’s name. Over time, UNOde50’s production and family have grown; although the name has remained the same as a reminder that just like on the very first day, quality and exclusiveness of each piece remains their main priority.
Founded in the late 1990’s Uno De 50 is a masterpiece brand of a group of designers who decided to establish a brand of fashion jewelry and accessories that would break all existing molds. The project was based on creating pieces with a unique and distinctive style, which soon became known for their flair and innovation. This fusion of tradition and modernity was the breeding ground for a new and different brand, steeped in a spirit of craftsmanship, that showed exclusivity through its design and quality.
Luck was on my side again, as I again got invited to the launch of its latest collection entitled connection and I finally got the chance to have my own Uno de 50 piece–a pendant that i call UnoBot that has accompanied me at several events .
The new collection dubbed CONNECTION accompanies you in a journey without a map or a compass involves connecting with your surroundings. UNOde50 looks inside each person to show them that what defines them is not an accessory, but is part of them.
“You are not in the environment; you are part of it. What at one point was contact or the senses has now become a connection.”
Connection is a collection full of magic, elements from forests and nature that are divided into four lines:
Forest, Vastness, Intimacy and Magic
Forest
Elements inspired by nature, with the color of leaves, fruits and seeds. The pieces reflect the seasons change from fall to winter and the feelings that are awakened throughout the process.
Vastness
Silver-plated organic shapes that are cold to the touch and connect us with the landscape’s vastness.
Magic
The designs reflect the light, colour and shimmer of the Northern Lights through blue, green, grey and pink Swarovski Elements crystals.
Intimacy
The search for intimacy and oneself is recreated in pieces shaped as keys and hearts of different sizes.
Magic
The designs reflect the light, colour and shimmer of the Northern Lights through blue, green, grey and pink Swarovski Elements crystals.
