The Murex

I’ve always loved seashells and used to collect them as a kid. Inspired by the Murex Brassica shell, I could imagine designing an ear cuff based on its unique form and color.
In sketching the ear cuff, I interpreted the overall spiral shape of the shell through incorporating layers, which I later modeled in Rhino with a series of sweeps. To create my piece, I worked with silicone (Dragon Skin 30 and 20) that I casted in a 3D printed mold I developed.
