Ok, so I’m not really using 3D in quite the right context in that there title. But doesn’t the whole 3D thing still seem terribly futuristic, even though every other movie these days is being made that way? I admit, I tend to avoid 3D movies if I can. I think it goes back to a harrowing 3D movie snake experience at Marineland as a youngin’. Thus solidifying my dislike of snakes and my skepticism about 3D films. But 3D printed jewelry?! That’s a snake of a different color. The idea that you can design an object on a computer and then print it, not on flat paper but in real, three dimensional proportions and in mediums other than paper was mind blowing! I’m just beginning to explore this world, but check out some of my favorite finds so far!
Radial Necklace I by Nervous System
Matryoshka Earrngs by Michiel Cornelissen
Rabbit Bracelet by Ineke Otte
Round Stone Dangle Earrings in Multi by Half Craft Studio
Hexagon Rays Necklace by Alissia Melka-Teichroew
I’m kind of dying to see some 3D jewelry up close & personal now. How about you? Have you seen any 3D jewelry? Do you own any? An inquiring Artsy wants to know. Have a fantastic weekend, Artsies!
