Jewellery - Development

From the File Review I have taken that the clip I produced was the most interesting looking element.  It looked quite elegant and could be developed into a stand alone piece of jewellery - a necklace perhaps?  For now I would like to continue with the bracelet I was making.
The last piece was a set size due to the angles it was at.  I want the bracelet to be adjustable, so anyone could wear it.  I need the connections to be flexible.
I will still clip parts of playing cards into the bracelet piece.  I don't think the bracelet needs to curve to support this, the card and clip should be strong enough.
The shape is too rectilinear - if it is a 'diamond' card bracelet then maybe the bracelet back can take the same form.  The bracelet back and the card could be more integrated.
What about a reversible bracelet?

 

Jewellery - Development

Our first chance to use a 3D Printer!  I have modeled a way to clip the playing card elements of my bracelet together.  I wanted the cards to still have some semblance of volume, so the clips curve as well.  Each section will be attached to the next by a pin.
The actual printing was not that successful.  One of the surfaces did not print, so the design does not hold together properly.  The bracelet elements would be to fiddly for the wearer to put together, and only one size can be made.  More development is needed.

 

'Poor' Jewellery - Redesign

Using ideas from my chosen Architectural detail I have redesigned my jewellery.  I now have a diamond bracelet.  This creates more opportunities for an interesting surface treatment.  I have used the detail to help with the structural element of the bracelet, and the overall form has changed to achieve a 3-dimensional quality similar to the Allianz Arena.   Thank you to Svantje for modeling.  

 

‘Poor’ Jewellery

Using only found or everyday objects, we were tasked with making jewellery for under $10.  I constructed a beautiful, delicate necklace out of jump rings.  I was looking to make something that looked intricate (and shiny).

I also have a set of rings and broaches made with playing cards.  I was trying to spell out words with the cards – Love and Hate.  I am most pleased with the diamond ring – who would not want their own diamond ring!  I think the idea behind this piece is quite ingenious, I will continue to use this.
