More About Believe in Yourself Jewelry Ring

Believe in Yourself is a ring created from sound. The shape is generated from an audio recording of a spoken message about believing in oneself. A microphone captures the sound, and parametric design turns the recording into three-dimensional curves. Each ring is shaped by the audio given as inspiration, so no two pieces are alike. The ring is made of 925 silver using 3D printing and the lost wax technique. It measures 20 by 30 by 30 millimeters and weighs 30 grams. The intent is to turn an invisible feeling into an object that can be worn.

Design Details

Unique Properties: Jewelry made with sound. Michael Jacksons advice. Its made with an audio of Michael Talking about believing in yourself and become great. This jewelry project is unique in its kind, as it uses sound as a tool to create three-dimensional and personalized pieces. Using a microphone and parametric design, each piece is influenced by the audio given as inspiration, making each one unique and special. stunning! Using audio as the basis for jewelry design creates a uniquely synesthetic approach that physicalizes the invisible in a truly fascinating fashion.
Inspiration: My inspiration is the reaction of people to see their feelings turned from something invisible into a product they can use. It's not only jewelry but in the shapes created by the vibrations, the pieces contain their stories.
Research: Since I came up with the idea of introducing feelings and emotions into objects, the first challenge was how to do it. I came to the conclusion that one of the many ways we express ourselves is with sound. The next challenge was to capture sound and interpret it to intervene certain shapes and lines. Using parametric design I was able to interpret the audio to manipulate vectors and turn them into objects. Jewelry are not only pieces but they also carry the essence of the person who wore it and with these pieces they have a new added value which is the feeling of the person who gave it as a gift.
Challenge: The challenges were all the testing and tweaking I had to do to get to the final product. All the discarded designs that were prior to what is now on the market. Two years of process are reflected in my current products and I have a lot more to contribute.
Realization and Technology: Parametric Design, 3D Print. Lost Wax Technique. Silver .925
Operation and Interaction: The way it was made and its interaction with the light make it stand out and stand out more than any other piece.
Project Duration and Location: This project started in 2022. Was exhibited in Milano Jewelry week and EVAC Gallery in New York .
Specifications: 20mmx30mmx30mm. Weight: 30 grams
Keywords: innovation, feelings, sound, product, ring
