Memory Wire Bracelet

This is a memory Wire bracelet made with an assortment of colorful beads and charms. I tried to keep the weight and balance of the bracelet by spreading apart the larger beads and maintaining equilibrium between sizes on either side. I decided I wanted the emphasis to rest on the center of the piece, so I placed my favorite charm piece at the center with a large purple bead right above it.

This bracelet is made for an audience who loves color and has a funky aesthetic. It is meant to be a fun, carefree inspiring piece of jewelry and would look great work with an outfit that is just as busy.

Wire-Wrapped Necklace

This Necklace was made using a large, rounded square purple stone. I used four gold edged wires, three of which were laid down on a table and flattened down as much as possible. Then, they were wrapped around the stone in a slanting manner that still kept the stone in place. The last wire was cut into 4 different pieces and used to secure the three wires around the stone. A loop was left at the top to be able to run a chain through. The emphasis is on the wire details around the rock, so the colors were kept to a minimum of three: gold, purple, white.

This necklace is a statement piece that is meant to be work with plain color clothing. It is bold, detailed, and elegant. The target market is an older, more mature audience who likes to be subdued but dont shy away from wearing strong jewelry.

Statement Necklace

This 3D printed necklace was made using Rhino 3D. Its was made using the tube tool, and adding 1.5 mm holes at the intersections where I added beads.

This is a statement necklace that plays with line and symmetry. The proportion is kept the same throughout the piece, keeping the focus on the pattern. This piece is targeted to a younger audience who likes to go out around the city at night. It would look great with a simple back tube dress and heels.

Rings

These 3D printed rings were made on Rhino 3D. They are a set, one bigger that goes all the way down on the finger, and the smaller one stay above the first joint. They first ring was made by first drawing a circle 16.7 mm in diameter, then drawing a U shape around it with a flat top. This shape was then risen up approximately 5 mm. On the flat top surface, I added the name "Daniela" using the text tool and the Gumball setting to place it exactly where I needed it. The second ring was made by drawing a circle 14.51 mm in diameter, making it a tube, and then adding a diamond tube over it and eliminating the center.

This ring is targeting to young girls. The double ring look is a trend I have noticed among my sisters, who are in high school. I kept the emphasis on the shape with the diamond, and on the small details like the name on the flat surface. I wanted to keep everything else simple, so I made thw rings white.
