The Design

About Theodora Multifunkčný Náhrdelník

Frida Hulten chcela, aby si nositeľ vychutnal dva úplne odlišné pohľady na jednom náhrdelníku. Zvažovala všetky časti krku a trupu so zameraním na chrbát. Výsledkom je náhrdelník, ktorý môžete nosiť dozadu. Náhrdelník je vytvorený na polystyrénovom trupe a má tvar okolo krku nositeľa. Má presné proporcie, aby kus vždy zakrýval správne.

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.
