This stunning necklace, titled “Eleganz”, by\u00a0Ingrid\u00a0Ulrich<\/a>\u00a0is another example of asymmetry in design. This German artist uses a wire form to create a unique one-of-a-kind wrap necklace that has to balance both visually and physically!<\/p>\n

With a limited color palette, Ingrid uses textures and finishes to add depth and volume to the individual elements to form a cohesive whole. She uses a synthetic clay (K\u00fcnstlerton) and fires it at a constant temperature for 60 minutes to give this necklace its strength and rigidity. She mixes her finishing techniques so that some of the surfaces are polished to a high shine and others are a matte finish.<\/p>\n

For a more in-depth look at Ingrid’s work, take a look at her website<\/a> and her Flickr<\/a> pages. She is fascinated by polymer clay and says, “It livens up the fantasy and gives therapy to the soul, but it also makes addictive to more and more perfection.”<\/p>\n
