Aphrodite is a necklace that can be worn in three different ways, three very different looks. The aim was to create a piece that covered the whole upper torso. A necklace that could stretch out over the shoulders, in a comfortable, wearable, interesting and attractive way.

Frida Hulten Design started with earrings in 2002 and had since developed and evolved to what it is today. She creates unique costume jewellery for Women, Men and Dogs, bespoke orders for clients and tailor-made Collections for Companies/Designers. Frida’s love of mystery, of the ancient world and for the life force itself that shows in each piece of her hand-made jewellery. Curious and open, she learns from each new environment she explores, allowing rare insights into a myriad of cultures and bringing an infusion of diverse influences to her work.

Born in Sweden, Frida spent almost two decades on an adventure, a journey spanning many cultures, countries and continents. In London, she discovered an insatiable passion for design. After an interior design course and a short stint in apparel design, she knew by instinct that her heart lay in the world of intricate items. Frida has chosen Milan as her current base.

"Bespoke costume jewellery is an extremely powerful and visible tool of personal expression. It’s immensely satisfying to design with innovative materials that give voice to the inner essences of both the material and wearer,” says Frida. “I want people to feel they are adorned with something that has a story.” Frida understands a woman's torso as sublime beauty. So her pieces wrap and drape, adorning the female form. "I find that the slender sinuous curve of the neck garlanded with bold unpolished brass has an intoxicating effect." Her pieces encompass an ever-growing range of materials including antique trinkets, semi-precious stones, rare beads, plaited leather, copper, antique silver and other unique objects found during her travels through dusty markets.
