Unique Properties: Aphrodite is a necklace that can be worn in three different ways, three very different looks. The aim was to create a piece that covered the whole upper torso. A necklace that could stretch out over the shoulders, in a comfortable, wearable, interesting and attractive way.
Dimensions & Packaging: Around the neck: 33cm and 3,5cm thick. Two identical wings measure: 1cm x 12cm x 8cm x 18cm, three mesh chains measure: 38x1cm, 41x1cm, 43x1cm. Chunky brass chain is 111cm long. Three brass rings with chain measures: 12cm x 14cm x 21cm x 14cm with decorative chain with glass pipe beads 17cm long and a chain with a plastic horn 49cm long.
Tags: Body jewellery, necklace, vintage, upcycling, recycling, multifunctional,
Production Technology: Made by hand using turquoise faceted resin beads made from recycled plastic, faceted gold colored pyrite, brown glass pipe beads, plastic horn pendant, oxidised copper chain, gold plated chain, thin brass chain, thick brass chain, decorative mesh chain, chunky antique brass chain from a lamp, leather, vintage belt buckle
Design Challenge: I wanted to mix many different looks in one necklace. Building from a vintage buckle that has a Victorian feel, for one contrast I chose a Native American inspiration with rings and chain. Another contrast I wanted something soft, delicate and feminine and chose wings with delicate chain and beads connected with mesh chain, and finished off with a chunky brass chain that gives it a modern, slightly fetish look.
The challenges was: combining different looks in one necklace, making the necklace look good sit well in three different ways.
Research: In my whole creative life I have always tried to challenge myself. I have always been interested in making the most out of the torso. The neck, the back, the front, the shoulders, the arms, the waist. Finding the balance with weight. Come up with interesting designs that are wearable and comfortable.
