The Art of Thomas Sabo

Thomas Sabo is a name which has become synonymous with beautiful and highly fashionable jewellery, in particular Sterling silver products and charms. The products are known for their quality and for the incredible attention to the finest detail. With distinctive flair and originality, the brand is now an international designer label, standing out from the crowd with a refreshing collection.

The amazing brand is the brainchild of one man, and bears his name. Thomas Sabo was born in Austria in the mid 1960s, and has travelled extensively. In 1984, Sabo decided to set up his own company, inspired by his love of jewellery and interest in and perception of trends. The headquarters were based at Lauf an der Pegnitz in Bavaria. It was hardly surprising that the company expanded rapidly, with the quality of items produced, coupled with Sabo's well known enthusiasm and passion. By the late 1980s Thomas Sabo was launched as a brand.

Susanne Kolbli became the company's Creative Director in the early 1990s, and helped to further increase the appeal and enhance the design of Sabo products. Kolbli is a native of Heidelberg who studied graphic design before starting out on career as a freelance designer for jewellery companies and advertisement agencies. It was whilst freelancing that Susanne Kolbli was discovered and employed by Sabo. Since this time, Kolbli has been creating contemporary designs which have delighted the followers of fashion as well as others from all walks of life. Working primarily in Paris and Frankfurt, Susanne Kolbli is said to gain her inspiration in part through journeys to other countries, seeing the sights and learning of the different cultures. Like Thomas Sabo, Susanne Kolbli finds spending time with family and friends very important.

During the late 1990s several thomas sabo retail outlets were opened and became successful, in Europe, Asia and the USA. The range is also sold by a number of other retailers who tend to specialise in high quality, high fashion jewelry. It is hard not to be amazed by the detail which goes into some of the designs, and the variety of charms, pedants and other products available. The Sterling silver items have a fresh and energetic feel, and cater for a wide range of tastes and occasions. They capture the imagination and have an undeniable appeal. There is something of the enthusiasm for which Sabo and Kolbli are renowned to be found in each piece.

Whether your taste in jewelry is for clothing, animals, the horoscope or you prefer a more gothic feel to your accessories, there is bound to be some exquisitely detailed piece that catches your eye. The Thomas Sabo range seems set to continue to enjoy its current popularity, due to the character of the Sterling silver pieces produced and the ability of the skilled designers to keep ahead of current trends. If you wish to treat yourself, or a loved one to some jewelry, and want something modern with a twist that is beautifully made, this may well be the brand for you.
