A collection centered around a wing design. Shown are finished pieces, renderings, and sketches.
Thin Winged Cuff and Winged Bangle were chosen for the launch of Shapeways’ curated jewelry marketplace.
Winged Bangle
Made in Rhino and printed in matte black steel via Shapeways.
This is the original piece that was just called "Winged Bracelet." It was designed before the conception of the collection. People loved it and started calling it one of my best and most beautiful pieces. Suggestions were made for other pieces and I started playing around with the wing design. The design was originally a thumbnail sketch of something that had been in my head for a long time but couldn't figure out how to draw it. Happy to have finally figured out how. The design is one that is always in my head. Although I don't usually design in collections for my personal work this is one I always have ideas for.
