Revolutionizing Jewelry Design: Hui Wang's New Chinoiserie 3D Jewellery

Combining Traditional Oriental Elements with Cutting-Edge 3D Printing Technology

The New Chinoiserie 3D Jewellery collection by Hui Wang is a testament to the transformative power of technology in the realm of art and design. Drawing inspiration from Chinoiserie, a prominent Oriental Rococo style from the 18th century, Wang has seamlessly blended traditional Oriental elements with modern, edgy fashion elements. The collection includes a set of earrings, a necklace, and a ring, all made of solid bronze with 18 karat gold plating.

What sets this collection apart is the innovative use of direct metal laser 3D printing technology. This technique, developed by GemX, eliminates the need for moulding, casting, and welding, which are traditionally used in jewellery manufacturing. The result is a cleaner, more efficient production process that reduces pollution by up to 80 percent. This aligns with GemX's commitment to sustainable manufacturing methods.

The process of creating these pieces begins with a hand sketch, which is then transformed into CAD files. These files are imported into data preparation software for metal 3D printing. The printer used is a metal powder-based printer with a high power fiber laser head and high-speed scanning system, optimized for intricate jewellery or other small and complex geometric pieces.

The collection also features Embedded Gemstones, a signature feature and technique developed by the GemX team. This technique allows for the embedding of gemstones directly into the metal during the 3D printing process, eliminating the need for hand welding. This is another example of how GemX is pushing the boundaries of traditional jewellery manufacturing.

The New Chinoiserie 3D Jewellery collection has been recognized for its innovative design and manufacturing techniques, winning the Silver A' Jewelry, Eyewear and Watch Design Award in 2020. This award is given to designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation, and introduce positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.

With this collection, Hui Wang and GemX are not only creating beautiful pieces of jewellery, but also paving the way for a more sustainable and innovative future in jewellery design. It's a shining example of how art, design, and technology can come together to create something truly unique and impactful.
