How is the Trinity Klimt - "Hope" necklace created?
Inspired by Gustav Klimt's bright world of colours - especially his work "Hope II", which is deeply touching with its expressive symbolism — it addresses hope and life as well as transience — a combination of beauty, depth and existential meaning — this necklace is a true work of art made of beads. But how is it made? In this blog post we take you on the journey of a piece of jewellery — from the materials to the finished necklace.
The materials – the beginning of every story
What materials are needed for the necklace: fine seed beads, mainly in red and gold, complemented by a few in yellow, green, blue and pink - small splashes of colour that bring the pattern to life. There is also cotton crochet thread, a fine needle for threading the beads, a stainless steel magnetic clasp and the crochet hook. It all starts here. It still looks inconspicuous, but these materials have the potential to become a unique piece of jewellery.
The pattern is created – threaded up bead by bead
Before a bead is even threaded, the creative design process begins: the design of the necklace is drawn and then transferred to detailed threading instructions. This serves as the basis for ensuring that each bead is in the right place when crocheting and that the desired pattern is created.
Here you can see how each individual bead is carefully threaded. Each one has to fit exactly in its place because the pattern is like a map that requires precision. Mistakes are difficult to correct here - concentration and a good eye are required.
Crocheting with patience and skill
Now the crochet work comes into play: each bead is crocheted in precisely. This requires a lot of experience, sensitivity and steady hands. The women in Togo are masters of this technique - each of them brings their own signature style.
The final touch – the clasp
Finally, the necklace gets its clasp. Everything is assembled and secured here. The moment when individual parts become a whole is always special.
Wear with joy
Now all the splendor comes into its own. The colours are bright, the pattern attracts attention. And what you see here is more than jewellery: it is an expression of craftsmanship, fairness and a sense of style.
Price and value
A necklace like this is not just a product. It is the result of many hours of concentrated work, fine craftsmanship and fair cooperation between Vienna and Togo. The price reflects this value. And maybe you'll soon be wearing a piece of it around your neck.
