Elegant neutrality is for the open minded. Those who embrace unique aesthetics, appreciate genuine beauty, and challenge gender roles in fashion. Inspiration was taken from minimal and geometric forms. It is the combination of masculine and feminine elements. The balance and contrast between perfect and imperfect, the idea of imperfectly perfect. One could wear these pieces as the centerpiece of a more classic outfit or blend it seamlessly with an adventurous fashion choice. By mixing feminine and masculine styles we created a collection for someone who wants to push boundaries as well as the person who wants a beautiful and lasting piece.

To make prototypes we started by rending in Rhino, 3d printing, and casting the pieces in silver and gold plating. We then developed and made the posters, display, and packaging to complete the collection.

The collection my team and I completed was then developed by Zale’s as a limited edition jewelry collection available at Zales.com.
