Before starting about the star topic, let’s take a look at the history behind this!

From where did it all start?

The word ‘aztec’ was born along with the formation of the Aztec empire. The aztec empire was an alliance of three capital states- Mexico-Tenochtitlan, Texcoco and Tlacopan established in 1427. Today it’s basically a part of Mexico.

The Aztec empire was rich in cultural and regional customs and traditions. Though, Aztec empire no longer exists in a physical state but all it’s heritage and culture still exists among the people. Even today, millions of people speak the Aztec language and live in the USA. All the Aztec arts and crafts are still very popular among the people and is being protected by them.

So I hope you all are able to relate the formation of the Aztec patterns with the history.

The Aztec patterns are mainly denoted with the early deities,animals, direction of sun and moon, religious reasons,etc. They were used to symbolise or express any message. The Aztecs made use of various styles and patterns in order to form their artistic designs. They used many circular and rectangular shapes to make a pattern. Even they used many recurring geometric symbols which were mainly used to symbolise the religious god’s and deities.

But the developed aztec patterns are really very colourful and geometric. Now we focus on the formation of a beautiful pattern rather than denoting something religious particularly.

The picture given above is a beaded aztec bracelet. Here, various colourful beads are used to form a geometric pattern.I really liked it’s formation and the pattern (mainly). It can be worn with ethnic outfits or any other casual styles for an ethnic event.

Not all but the majority group which wear these type of pieces even in the present day are Mexicans and Native Americans. But yaa many people around the world too like to wear these ethnic pieces( including me ^_^).

Apart from beading, Aztec patterns can also be used as friendship bracelets. There are more than thousands of aztec patterns in the bracelet books according to the making level. They all are very fabulous patterns and designs. I am sure you all gonna like it to some extent.
