DESIGN NAME: Line Rings
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Jewelry
INSPIRATION: The Line Collection was inspired by the labyrinth and geometric architectures. The moveable sphere inside slides in various directions along the track, while diverse multi-segment structures bring greater possibilities to the trajectory of the ball. I utilized 3D CAD techniques to bring precision and higher complexity in creating perfect line construction in small scale rings.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project is a collection of nine rings that are designed to highlight the interaction between wearer and jewelry. The moveable sphere inside the ring provides feedback to the wearer through sounds, vibration, and rotation.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: -
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in September 2019 in Savannah, GA, and finished in March 2020.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: 3D Printing; Lost Wax Casting; Brass; Silver Plating
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Approximately 4*4*4 cm each
TAGS: ring, line, movement, personality, jewelry
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: Precious measuring. After experimenting with different 3D printed materials, I limit the thickness of the wire to 1.2mm, with a 6mm gap in between the rail to ensure the sphere flow constantly in the ring. It is hard to calculate the measurement in a 3D form.
