This piece is inspired by Balkan folk ornamental motifs often used to decorate clothing and objects.

These repetitive patterns trigger memories, history, messages, and ways of living - a different world to our today.

Made from aluminium, it's very light, but very bold. It is 3d printed by heat treating aluminium powder then shrunk in the cooling process. This process is unpredictable making each piece absolutely individual - no two pieces will ever have the same surface textures.
 
A touch of colour and shine pops against the grey is youth forming new ways of being. The strong and shaped choker is a reminder of the strength and endurance in each of us. Let us move away from the traditions of the past, reinvent new ways of seeing the world while respecting what we have learnt from the world before us. 
 
This piece is intended to compliment the earrings and rings also named She's Moving Away From Tradition.
