The first thing that gave me an inspiration for this character was probably jewellery in Ancient Egypt. I'm currently in the process of revising and digging a little bit deeper in art history for my finals and Ancient Egypt is the period that I've been studying recently. I've had a blurry vision of how the world look like in this character's universe, there is a strong diversity between upper class and the rest of the society and I thought that Ancient Egyptian jewellery could put a little bit of emphasis on it.
To make my vision clearer I wrote an outline about her. Things like her history, how she interacts with people, how she sees them, what she does in her life etc. Then I've gathered reference photos(here is a full sheet that I've made in PureRef if you'd like to have a look at it https://i.imgur.com/LlbEvPg.jpg) and started experimenting with thumbnails, sometimes searching for new references in google.
I hope that answers your question
