The Ask
Design a piece of jewlery tthat represents your values and personality.
The Process
Ideation
At first I wanted to design a piece of jewelry that was dainty and simple because that's the type of jewelry I usually wear. I know I wanted the jewelry to incorporate my zodiac sign or traits somehow. I decided to use ChatGBT to help me brainstorm. I asked for five zodiac symbols for the aquarius sign but I wasn't too happy with the symbols. I did like some of the information on networking and innovation that came with this search. I decided to ask ChatGBT to design five more symbols with innovation in mind. These questions pulled up symbols that were useful and I liked the infinity symbol. I decided to take the infinity symbol and build off that.
Prototype
My design encapsulates my innovative characteristics through a limitless symbol, the infinity symbol.
TinkerCAD
I stuck with the infinity sign but used it as a base for my design. I want the infinity loop to be made from wood because I like natural organic looks. I decided to keep the gemstone balls around the infinity loop but stretched out the bottom ones to look like spikes. I took out the gemstone from the middle of the infinity symbol and added a rose. In reality this rose would be epoxied or in resin.
The Outcome
This is a pendant for a necklace, earings, or even a belly button/nose ring. I like that this is a multipurpose piece and will be used on a variety of occasions. This piece is adaptable to a person’s wants or needs making it an invaluable item.
