Lust: A Unique Cuff Design by Jimin Jung

Creating Harmony Between Brass and Translucent Resin

The Lust cuff, designed by Jimin Jung, is a stunning example of how two contrasting materials can come together to create a unique and harmonious piece of jewelry. Inspired by various geometrical figures, Jung set out to create a design that would showcase the beauty and versatility of brass and translucent resin.

Unlike traditional fine jewelry that often relies on rare and expensive materials, the Lust cuff embraces more commonplace materials found in the modern world. By doing so, Jung challenges the notion that only expensive stones and materials can create beautiful jewelry. Instead, he focuses on the design and the harmony between the materials to create a piece that stands out.

Using 3D printing technology, Jung was able to materialize the shapes that were once only in his imagination. The Lust cuff is made from brass plated in gold and translucent resin, giving it a luxurious and contemporary look. The combination of these materials creates a striking contrast, with the brass adding a touch of elegance and the resin adding a modern and transparent element.

The Lust cuff is designed to be worn simply on either wrist, making it a versatile accessory that can be paired with any outfit. Its sleek and minimalist design allows it to be worn both casually and for more formal occasions, adding a touch of sophistication to any ensemble.

Jimin Jung's Lust cuff was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category in 2015. This prestigious award recognizes well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. The Lust cuff stood out for its integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and its contribution to a better world through its unique design.

With the Lust cuff, Jimin Jung has proven that creativity and design can elevate even the most commonplace materials into works of art. By combining brass and translucent resin, he has created a cuff that challenges traditional notions of fine jewelry and showcases the beauty that can be found in unexpected combinations.
