The metaverse trend set off in 2021 is still hot to this day, and the experience of future technology makes everyone want to stop, so some accessories full of alien futuristic sense have become the fashion lore of many girls.
In particular, it has begun to be constantly swiped by various 3D printed jewelry. Elements such as flower beads, alien creatures, and cyber digital can all be 3D printed to show various shapes on jewelry.
Molism Design
Founded in England by Jewellery artist & designer Molly Wang, it launched its first collection in 2020. MOLISM is a combination of Molly and ism, which dedicates to transforming the figurative detail-in-life into wearable sculpture with curved shapes in an abstract visual language that conveys the creator’s perception of the present experience.
Combining traditional metal technique with advanced 3D-printing technology, MOLISM push limits for high-decorative costume jewellery and creates a retro-futuristic style in its way. Eye-catching necklaces, shapely earrings, and colour pop rings give classic silver and timeless gold some serious competition.
Hannah Jewett
The New York City-based creative has been bracing for the future for as long as she’s been crafting her trippy pieces with equal parts modeling technology and traditional silversmithing techniques.
The process is as follows: She first creates pieces with a 3-D-design software called Rhino before 3-D-printing them into plastic models, which she then casts into silver samples. It’s a fairly advanced process, but with our “new normal” often requiring immediate and extensive digitalization, it’s also a healthy forecast of what jewelry may look like moving forward.
Aesthetically, her jewelry isn’t quite like jewelry at all. With squiggly strokes and bulbous angles gracing minimalist silhouettes, Jewett’s designs share more artistic DNA with installations you might find at a public sculpture garden than, say, Catbird.
Yvmin
Self-described as a “body decoration lab,” YVMIN is a conceptual jewelry atelier rich in romance and possibility. The Beijing-based brand skillfully fuses the ethereal with the severe in its sculptural pieces—pairing delicate designs and motifs with stark and stiff materials like titanium.
Best known for the custom prosthetics it made for influencer Xiao Yang, the label’s sublime bijouterie includes butterfly hair clamps in 18k white gold-coated brass, necklaces charmed with miniature teddy bears, and platinum-plated, heart-shaped earrings. Dreamlike and unwonted, YVMIN’s body decor conjures a fierce femininity for the avant-garde aesthete.
Rohan Mirza
Rohan Mirza’s work can be distinguished by its uncanny silhouettes and prosthetic adornments, mutating the wearer’s human features into those of a mythological being.
“My work is mainly focused on 3D and 3D printing. My style is a mix of cyberpunk and fantasy — where angels meet computers — lots of fairies — but also lots of aliens. I think this style is constantly evolving; that’s the whole point of creation.”
Nusi Quero
Based in Los Angeles, Nusi Quero’s work flirts between the perimeters of the virtual and the visceral. His digital designs depicting a profusion of incandescent, celestial elegance, have since transmogrified into a series of futuristic 3D-rendered couture pieces.
“My 3D printed wearable work is not much of a decision, I’m literally only using what I have because they are the resources I have on hand that I can afford or manage right now. It’s for the most part made of a slightly flexible resin that I try to makedo with but to be honest I’ve been giddy to expand beyond it since even before I started printing my work. There are lots of tools (CNC, vacuum forming, laser cutting) that I would be utilizing already and absolutely will as soon as I can. But for now I’m bound to my little set up. ”
