Odyssey Jewelry

Odyssey Jewelry is an innovative parametric jewelry collection that revolutionizes traditional jewelry design through the integration of advanced computational design and rapid prototyping technologies. The design concept centers on covering voluminous geometric shapes with intricately patterned skin layers, creating a fascinating interplay between clarity and distortion, transparency and concealment. Originally inspired by fruit packaging nets, this groundbreaking approach allows for unlimited customization possibilities while maintaining high-quality craftsmanship. The collection features three distinct models - Gaia, Asia, and Aurora - each offering varying dimensions and volumes to suit different preferences. The jewelry pieces can be produced in multiple materials, including polyamide with specialized finishes, stainless steel, bronze, sterling silver, 18kt gold, and titanium, with options for high-gloss or sandblasted finishes. The manufacturing process employs state-of-the-art selective laser sintering (SLS) technology, enabling the creation of complex geometries that would be impossible to achieve through traditional jewelry-making techniques. This innovative approach to jewelry design, which won the prestigious Golden A' Design Award in the Jewelry Design category, represents a significant advancement in the fusion of digital fabrication with traditional jewelry aesthetics. The collection's unique value proposition lies in its ability to offer mass customization while maintaining the exclusivity of each piece, as customers can personalize their jewelry through parametric design variations, making each piece a unique wearable sculpture.
