Radiolaria Bracelet

Thin plastic is laser cut into an organic network of distorting ellipses. The pattern displays shifts in direction and scale, creating a sense of movement and tension around the wrist. These complex forms recall those of radiolarians, plant cells and even the familiar honey comb. Creating jewelry that relates to the 3-dimensional shape of the body can be quite challenging with 2-D manufacturing methods like laser cutting. This bracelet takes advantage of the flexibility of PET plastic to create a unique design that molds to your arm. It laces with a satin ribbon allowing it to fit many different wrist sizes. The PET plastic is clear and can be left that way, or painted any color you want. I've painted mine white! This is just one of many possible designs.

Dendrite Brooch

Acrylic plastic is laser cut into delicate forms inspired by the aggregate growth of coral and dendrite crystals. The brooch is affixed by a sterling silver pinstem and clutch. The brooch has no predetermined orientation but in the photos we show our two favorite ways to wear it. The pattern was generated using a diffusion limited aggregation algorithm.
