Pearlescent Jewelry Display: A Series

Pearlescent Jewelry Display: A Series

A tiered ceramic jewellery display which incorporates a sculptural element to the piece so it can serve as décor while being a jewelry holder. It celebrates the carefully crafted jewelry pieces and embraces them as an integral aspect of the aesthetic.

Highlight

The pieces are designed to be interchangable allowing the user the customize their stand.  The stand also presents an opportunity to create a

sculptural look to the piece as well as a place to store more jewelry.

Key Skills

Ideation

I worked with a tiered structure since it allows the user to have a degree of organisation without over defining the place for each piece.

I explored the form and size of the plates required.

3-D Modelling

I part modelled and printed the stands to achieve the complex shapes.
