About Line Rings Mama

Line Rings o se aoina o mama e iva ua mamanuina e faʻamaonia ai le fesoʻotaʻiga i le va o le tagata e ofuina ma le teuga.

O le aoina na faʻaosofia mai i le vao faʻanunumi (labyrinth) ma le fausaga faʻafanua. O fausaga e tele vaega e faʻatupu ai ala eseese mo le poloka. O mama e gaosia e ala i le lolomiga fa'a-tolu-vaega ma le tuʻuina o le pa'u mafuie (lost wax casting) i le apamemea faʻasilaina i le siliva. O mama taʻitasi e tusa ma le 4 i le 4 i le 4 senitimita le tele.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: This project is a collection of nine rings that are designed to highlight the interaction between wearer and jewelry. The moveable sphere inside the ring provides feedback to the wearer through sounds, vibration, and rotation.
Dimensions & Packaging: Approximately 4*4*4 cm each
Tags: ring, line, movement, personality, jewelry
Production Technology: 3D Printing; Lost Wax Casting; Brass; Silver Plating
Design Challenge: Precious measuring. After experimenting with different 3D printed materials, I limit the thickness of the wire to 1.2mm, with a 6mm gap in between the rail to ensure the sphere flow constantly in the ring. It is hard to calculate the measurement in a 3D form.
Inspiration: The Line Collection was inspired by the labyrinth and geometric architectures. The moveable sphere inside slides in various directions along the track, while diverse multi-segment structures bring greater possibilities to the trajectory of the ball. I utilized 3D CAD techniques to bring precision and higher complexity in creating perfect line construction in small scale rings.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2019 in Savannah, GA, and finished in March 2020.
