Aztec Inspired Choker & Earrings

0

The brief this month was Aztec. When I think of Aztec I vision lots of gold, arrow and triangular shapes and bold colours like turquoise. With this in mind I started to compile my materials.

Aztec jewellery to look stylish and expensive

To me gold oozes exuberance and I want my Aztec inspired jewellery to look stylish and expensive, something fit for a queen! So with this in mind I decided to opt for a gold memory wire necklace.

Memory wire is such a fabulously easy material to work with

Memory wire is such a fabulously easy material to work with because you don’t have the added worry of sizing your necklace, as is it will sit nicely around any neck, it also keeps its shape perfectly, because it holds its shape so well you don’t necessarily need a clasp you can simply make a loop in each end to stop your beads escaping. 

All of these qualities meant that memory wire was perfect for the glamorous choker creation I had in mind.

The combination of the gold spacers, turquoise beads and Czech glass with the long lengths of brass ball chain attached to a gold spike creates the definite look of opulence and luxuriousness I was hoping for.

I also created a pair of matching earrings where I incorporated the versatile and highly useful crimp cable chain, but still incorporated the same elements, like the Czech glass beads to tie in with the choker; they look beautiful worn with the choker for a bold statement combination or on their own for a more subtle edge.
