D.I.Y. Balenciaga Geometric Silver Necklace.

I was browsing through some of my favorite lookbook's a while ago and came across Romain Le Cam's. I have always loved his simple yet unique style and I saw that on one of his looks, he was wearing a Balenciaga geometric necklace. Since I am crazy about geometric pretty much anything and I recently started creating jewelry, I decided to make my own version of this pendant that I will share of how to make!

What you will need:

• 18 gauge galvanized steel wire
• Wire Cutters
• Strong clamp & table
• Electric power drill (optional)
• Any chain of your choice

How to do it:
When one hears the word 'geometric', they automatically think of math and complexity and most times avoid it but this DIY is not complicated at all. Here's how to start:

• Cut two pieces of the wire (the length doesn't matter just make sure its at least longer than one foot)
• Put the two wires in the drill where the drill bit goes
• Clamp the other end of the wires to your table very securely
• Turn on drill and this will braid your wire (you can use more pieces of wire depending on how thick you want the pendant)
• Trim braided wire so that it measures to be one foot long
• Bend wire into the shape of the pendant
• Slip chain into the upper part of the chain
• Wear around your neck and look just as cool as me and Romain! 

Here are my results:
