The Design

About Believe in Yourself Sieraad Ring

Believe in Yourself is een ring die ontstaan is uit geluid. De vorm komt voort uit een geluidsopname van een gesproken boodschap over geloven in jezelf. Een microfoon legt het geluid vast en met parametrisch design wordt de opname omgezet in driedimensionale curven. Elke ring wordt vormgegeven door het audiofragment dat als inspiratie dient, waardoor geen twee exemplaren gelijk zijn. De ring is vervaardigd uit 925 zilver met behulp van 3D-printen en de wasuitsmelttechniek. Hij meet 20 bij 30 bij 30 millimeter en weegt 30 gram. Het doel is om een onzichtbaar gevoel om te zetten in een object dat gedragen kan worden.

Design 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.
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. Transmitting the project is something that has cost me but I managed to get people to send me marriage proposals, love messages, memories of people who have gone, among other things. What I do is to transform those memories expressed in sounds to generate objects that can be unique, personal and that will be with them for the rest of their lives.
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.
Project Duration: This project started in 2022. Was exhibited in Milano Jewelry week and EVAC Gallery in New York .
Operation Flow: The way it was made and its interaction with the light make it stand out and stand out more than any other piece.
