This piece was inspired by circumstance. My wife broke her Jade bangle that she has worm for years, it cracked into two pieces one big, one small. I decided to use the small piece for a necklace and the other would form a new bangle. I designed the PLA parts to highlight the juxtaposition between the smooth form and natural patterning of the jade with flat surfaces, texture and angles of many of the printed parts I have manufactured.

I printed this in PLA my printers high setting. The bracelet parts were printed in halves and then I used a two part epoxy to glue them together. I left the sides as the came out of the printer but I polished the tops and bottoms with gradually finer wet and dry paper. I then got the matt effect through using wire wool. The neckless parts were printed whole and the jade was epoxy glued as before. I added a chain and boom it was finished.
