Bling has evolved little over the millenia. It’s still lumps of gold or silver with optional chips\u00a0of polished rocks. For absolutely ages, each piece of jewellery was a unique hand-made, one-off piece that was\u00a0cherished by its owner and handed down to the next generation to be lost, pawned, broken or have it stolen.<\/p>\n

Then the industrial revolution led to the mass-production of ugly baubles, and here we are today with the likes of Argos filled with gaudy baubles that lure the tasteless masses, built to last – oh at least a couple of years or so. I do not blame the aforementioned company, since they are merely selling what they know their customers will\u00a0buy.<\/p>\n

Today, though, a new revolution has been born, that combines mass-production with personalization – and that is the power of 3D printing.<\/p>\n

It allows a designer to free their shackles of mediocrity and\u00a0allow their design juices to flow freely and make things of wondrous beauty. Well, up to a point, anyway, becuase 3D printing is still quite pricey.<\/p>\n

More importantly, it allows non-designers, ordinary people from all walks of life, to have work with a designer to create the piece they have in their minds but cannotdesign themselves.<\/p>\n

One such client of mine, Christian Genco<\/a>, was so thrilled about the whole process, he wrote a long post<\/a> that makes for some quite interesting reading for the neophyte.<\/p>\n
