Freshly photographed and available at the Etsy shop, here’s the honeycomb pendant in sterling silver!  I’m really happy with how this turned out, especially considering it was 3D printed, and 3d printed polished sterling has been a little touch and go. Success!

In the works has been a fun series of fungi and mushroom jewelry! Here are a couple of preview renders below.  I’ve just ordered some test prints for both pendants & earrings and can’t wait to see how they turn out! Marasmiellus Mushrooms: Oyster Mushrooms:

Typically I use 3D printing to manufacture my original jewelry/3D designs, but I’d been having inconsistent results with polished sterling silver.  To be perfectly honest, even the most polished pieces had some very subtle grain evident.  I’m sure in time that will change; right now it’s just evidence of the limits of the current technology.

Freshly photographed, I’ve finally gotten around to posting and offering up the silver cast succulent bud pendant!  Coming from a digital background – as opposed to ‘legit’ jewelry creation experience like lost-wax process, etc. – it’s easy to assume you’ll automatically get a piece exactly as you submit the file, but they don’t and I’ve.

I’ve been finally delving into sterling silver printing with Shapeways, and it’s really remarkable what they can do, of the level you would expect from ‘actual’ metal casters and jewelers.  You can choose both polished or the basic unpolished.  I’ve always opted for polished for just a few bucks more per print. However, I’ve seen.
