Family-owned Auckland print company Soar is flying high, with two of its team winning accolades at the prestigious Pride in Print 2021 awards.

Print apprentice Travis Jordan was named the Print Industry Apprentice of the Year, while Alex Huynh won the Workplace Trainer of the Year. For Travis, the award is an acknowledgement of the time and effort he has put into his craft.

“It’s really special and a reminder that you get out what you put in,” he says. “The award is something I’ll happily carry with me throughout my career.”

It's awesome to see not only one of our apprentices getting recognition, but also the skilled team member who trained him winning an award.

Antique silver bracelet

Glenys from Ngaio

This rare silver Ottoman link bracelet (19th century) features very fine filigree work combined with 'chain mail" . It's in extraordinary condition given its fine work and age.

Bought in the Middle East in the 1970s, and no longer worn. It time for someone else to treasure it.

I bought it in the Middle East in the 1970s. I no longer wear bracelets.
This rare piece of jewellery is worth more than I'm selling it for - I just want it to go to someone who loves it.

According to the label it's an ancient Egyptian design "aged with a tea stain effect". It's made of heat set polypropylene, which makes it very easy to clean. It's lovely and thick and will probably last a lifetime. I bought it new in Wellington several years ago for $889. There is slight fading across the rug at one point, which you may see in the full rug photo. It's not obvious. Pick up is in Ngaio.
