Beautiful: 3D printed crystal jewelry STONEDALONE

December 24, 2023

Naturally formed crystals have been used to create beautiful and exotic Jewelry for thousands of years. Many cultures claim that crystal has the mysterious function of improving the health of the wearer, while providing spiritual protection and guidance, and even improving the quality of life of the wearer in some measurable way. Obviously, in order to fully appreciate the crystal jewelry, we don't have to believe in magic, because the natural beauty of crystal has been so eye-catching.

For Wynn Mustin, an artist and designer at Williamsburg, crystal is clearly a design medium that she needs to explore. However, Mustin and her project creative director Abi chose to use 3D printed crystals (actually crystals) instead of naturally occurring crystal structures. According to Mustin, her range of STONEDALONE accessories actually relies on the functionality of 3D printed crystals, as these features will help the wearer find a balance between digital production techniques and the spirituality of handmade jewelry.

STONEDALONE collections include crystal rings, necklaces and other wearable accessories that blend mysterious power with 3D printing technology . The color of the 3D printed jewelry will give the wearer different "mysterious network functions." For example, a crystal sample printed with a yellow material will give the user a lot of social media followers, while Amethyst gives the user the ability to "see the filtered IRL on Instagram" at any time. Of course, the latter does not sound particularly challenging.

“The inspiration for STONEDALONE was born out of a long meditation and a deep personal connection to the universe. The universe transmits energy to me and reveals a state of chaos between human spirit and technology. As a child of the Internet age, I believe I was summoned to design STONEDALONE. After being summoned, my journey with digital manufacturing began,” Mustin told Vice Magazine recently. Mustin's work was printed on the fifth-generation MakerBot Replicator 3D printer and was very eye-catching at major exhibitions.

It is understood that the 3D printed STONEDALONE jewelry collection is actually part of Mustin's ambitious master's thesis project. Currently, Mustin is pursuing her Master of Arts (MFA) degree at Parsons' Design & Technology program. At present, the first batch of 3D printing products are all made of 3D printed crystals, including some rings, necklaces and hair clips. You can buy these 3D printed STONEDALONE collections on their website.
