We’ll be exploring a different all-digital presentation/sharing workflow this semester during this course’s first hybrid run: using AR.js to prototype and present the project using free mixed reality technology.

Product Final – Rings + Bracelets

Using a parametric script that twists, lofts, and manipulates sectional geometry, this set of jewelry is the result of trials and errors for aesthetically pleasing pieces. 100+ rings and bracelets were created but the most successful / my personal favorite was selected and shown above. The rings of the set are rendered in sterling silver whereas the bracelets are intended to be a form of hollow/plated gold material.
