3D Printed Jewelry: by Diana Law

3D printing has been making waves across many sectors, and 3D printed jewelry is no exception! Thanks to 3D printing technology, creating original, one of a kind pieces is now possible. Diana Law is an artist who has embarked on a mission to create stunning 3D printed jewelry, and has gained lots of attention and adoration. In an exclusive interview with 3Dnatives, she delves deeper into her method and her creation process, showing us the future of jewelry and 3D printing.

3DN: Could you introduce yourself and tell us a little bit more about your first steps into the 3D printing world?

Diana Law, the artist behind the 3D printed jewelry.

I studied design and fashion in France and moved into the creation of jewelry a few years ago. There are many challenges in this sector in terms of weight, costs, labor, delays, etc. These are challenges that have effects from the design to the creation process. As a result, I needed an alternative to traditional methods so that my ideas could be created. 3D printing has solved these problems as the technology has matured and has been refined over the years, making it easier to start something new on the jewelry market.

3DN: What materials and technologies do you use?

My collections are made up of solid and flexible plastic as well as stainless steel. We create our plastic jewelry through the Selective Laser Sintering process, which allows the fusion of very fine layers of nylon powder.

For metal parts, they involve a different printing process. The liquid binder is deposited on a thin layer of steel powder, which is then put with bronze. After, this enables the creation an entire metal part.
