The Design

About Theodora Daudzfunkcionāla Kaklarota

Frīda Hultena vēlējās, lai valkātājs izbauda divus diezgan atšķirīgus izskatu vienā kaklarotā. Viņa apsvēra visas kakla un rumpja daļas, koncentrējoties uz muguru. Rezultāts ir kaklarota, ko var nēsāt priekšā. Kaklarota, kas izveidota uz polistirola rumpja, ir veidota tā, lai tā būtu piemērota ap lietotāja kaklu. Tam ir precīzas proporcijas, lai gabals vienmēr tiktu pareizi salocīts.

Unique Properties: This necklace can be worn back to front. I wanted the wearer to be able to enjoy two quite different looks. I tried to carefully consider all parts of the neck and torso, especially the back.
Dimensions & Packaging: Measures 42cm around the neck.
4-5cm wide on the sides.
The shorter front is 21cm long.
The longer front is 35cm long.
Tags: Lapis Lazuli, bespoke adornment, handmade jewellery, handmade jewelry, wearable art, 2-in-1 necklace, semiprecious stones
Production Technology: Made by my hands using; Lapis Lazuli, Glass Beads, Swarovski, Turquoise, Brass Beads, Antique Copper Chain, Antique Brass Chain, Brass Ring and a Gold-plated Feather.
This piece took me 21 hours to complete. I created it on top of a polystyrene torso so that my design can drape around the neck and follow the curves.
Design Challenge: This piece was not only difficult to make because of detailed construction and hours spent. I had to also consider the curves around the neck, so that the piece falls, sits and drapes perfectly.
Research: Theodora was a strong powerful Woman, an Empress of the Byzantine Empire and wife to Justinian I who reigned 527–565.
I chose to use the semiprecious stone Lapis Lazuli as it is an ancient favorite by especially the Egyptian Kings and Queens.
Inspiration: To best describe my inspiration I would say it has a Byzantine body, an African heart and a Native American spirit.
I wanted to create a necklace that could be worn back to front.
Project Duration: This piece was created in Stockholm during January 2016.
Operation Flow: The necklace can simply be worn back to front for two different looks.
