Jweel enters the 3D printing jewellery market with the ability to design from home and receive the precious metal in the mail. The products can be shipped anywhere accepting UPS delivery and is made possible thanks to Jweel’s partnership with i.materialize. Offering jewellery in various finishes from high gloss to sandblasted, Jweels provides objects in silver, gold, brass, titanium and steel. They use a familiar process to materialize your vision made possible with their own online software. It is encouraged for users to create a sign-in and take advantage of the hands-on process from prototyping formation to delivery tracking.
The method Jweel uses to print their user-made objects is now considered time-tested in the 3D printing community. By printing a waxen model, covering the model then applying heat to create a space for liquid metal, the chosen material fills the space taking the 3D printed form. Jweel’s Flicker account showcases the final products already produced and testify to the quality a consumer can expect from the retailer. The prototype images and base models offer examples of the personalized avenue allowed by Jweel, and their tutorial video offers a few cute scenarios inviting purchase. It is the customization, the personal touch, that makes opportunities like the one presented by Jweel so enticing.
Jweel offers a narrative experience for jewellery. From prototype manifestation to production and even its journey to the mind that created it, the materials from Jweel will have their story arch. Of course the prices are determined by size and material, the precious metals are certified for quality. Yet what Jweel provides is something akin to that big envelope from a school you applied to, not some simple email, after hours of making the perfect application. The wait won’t be nearly as long, and in Jweel’s case, the choice has already been made golden, or silver if preferred.
