| DESIGN NAME: The Movie Theatre PRIMARY FUNCTION: Fine Jeweled Egg INSPIRATION: August 5, 2017, was the 55th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death. This Fine Jewelry Egg is a tribute to her talent and beauty. I was inspired by Richard Avedon picture of Marilyn with ostrich fans in 1957 and Faberge famous jeweled eggs. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The object consists of 3 parts: the theater, spinning inner part, and Marilyn's sculpture. The red gemstones outside represent the cinema stage and the red carpet, as an essential part of Marilyn's life. The white gemstones on the spinning part represent stage lights. The five stars on the top of reminders of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The central part of the object is Marilyn, with ostrich fans performing for the audience. The sculpture of Marilyn could be removed from The Theater and stand alone on her own pedestal. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The Movie Theater Egg is an experiment of mixing hand-made and digital fabrication in order to create a large-scale piece of fine jewelry.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The Movie Theater Height: 97mm Width *56mm Length*59mm Marilyn Monroe Sculpture Height: 56mm Width *31mm Length*31mm TAGS: Fine Jeweled Egg, Sculpture, Marilyn Monroe, CAD design, 3D printing, Movie Theater RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Researched CAD modeling, hand-made and digital fabrication, such as setting stones, hard and laser soldering, 3D printing, casting, silver plating, and polishing technologies. Printed the full-size prototype with wax and plastic in order to simplify a casting process and pilot the search functionalities, such as smoothness of moving parts, quality of assembly each part, and convenience of taking out inner sculpture. CHALLENGE: CAD modeling was the most challenging part. None of the existing methods would help to create Marilyn's likeness and the object with moving details. The main aim of creating a mechanism for moving parts was to find the simplest and cleanest solution, which is essential for jewelry production. The plastic prototype helped to test the validity of this solution and to make a decision to divide The Movie Theater Egg into seven parts for casting purposes. Numerous of tools and sandblasting techniques were used and developed in order to reach every part of the sculpture.
