Water for Africans

Water: a vital element, the basis of life, beautiful in its fluidity and delicacy. And unavailable to far too many people. The elegant Obligato Necklace replicates the ephemeral beauty of water in two dainty gold- and silver-plated ovals. Its name is Portuguese for "something that one cannot live without." Pretty may not be indispensable to her livelihood, but with every purchase of this pretty, Diana Warner Studio helps provide that most vital of "obligatos" to the millions of Africans who struggle daily without it.
