Lulubadulla - MARILYN

Finally my 3D adventures has resulted in something physical!

MARILYN is Lulu Badulla's first diamond jewelry. A contemporary diamond if you will. It's a classic facet cut diamond shape with real proportions. But it lacks the stone. All it leaves is an illusion, a 3D sketch of a real diamond, made of air.
It's humor and elegance hand in hand.

It's a project I helped a colleague accomplish, or rather his wife's jewel company Lulu Badulla.

First I modeled the classic facet cut diamond in Maya at a 1:1 precise millimeter ratio, then I used the edges to extract new geometry to form the skeleton in a precise thickness from a simple nurbs circle.

Then I took it into ZBrush, Dynameshed it and exported an STL file for 3D print production.

This is the result.

The diamond is available in rhodium, gold and silver.
