Silversmithing
OBJECTIVE
To learn about the silversmithing process, explore using silversmithing as a medium for creation, and learn how to photograph metals.
ABOUT
These pieces were carved, casted, and polished over a 10 week period in the Stanford Product Realization Lab's Silversmithing class.
MY ROLE
Product Designer
Pisces Earcuffs
Inspiration
I wanted to design ear cuffs inspired by a water queen. The design would be bold, fierce, and feel like an empowering piece of jewelry/armor.
Final Designs
I wanted to captured different elements that you might find under the sea like porous coral, sharp spikes, and fluid snake-like species.
Exploring coral inspired textures and sharp edges like a crown.
Tribal inspired side-marks and sharp polished body like a weapon or suit of armor.
Wave inspired and snake-like ear cuff like a queen with a pet-like species by her side.
Interlocking Waves
Inspiration
I wanted to explored what organic shaped that I could carve out of wax. I was inspired by waves in pursuit of designing interlocking rings.
Final Design
These rings are identical stackable rings inspired by waves that sometimes appear in nature as single waves and other times appear in series. Rings can be worn as a single or double. Rings interlock when worn in a double.
