Win up to $750 in jewelry, a jewelry designer job interview from ELLE Jewelry and a brand new 3D printer from Kudo3D for your elegant women’s jewelry design. Your design could also become part of ELLE’s line of jewelry to be sold as a sterling silver product all around the world!

All you need to do is create a jewelry design that wows the panel of judges. Here are some simple guidelines to help your design stand out from the crowd:

Should be a ring, necklace pendant or bracelet
Shouldn’t include a stone in the design
Should fit in with the style of ELLE’s current line of jewelry

ELLE is a brand that makes fashion accessible and speaks to feminine, positive and self-confident women, so design accordingly!

Sadly, I eventually strayed from the world of jewelry casting because as my pieces’ level of complexity evolved and my level of finger dexterity waned, using the traditional molding techniques could no longer achieve the level of detail I desired. I couldn’t translate my ideas into the wax. I looked into purchasing a 3D printer because I knew that the technology could aid me in achieving the desired level of perfectionism I so desperately wanted. Unfortunately, the printers were either far out of my price range or they did not possess the capabilities I needed. Out of frustration, I abandoned the endeavor completely, missing it the entire time.

Now, years later, I have finally found a 3D printer that will enable me to return to the jewelry-casting world: the Titan 1. Using software, I can design pieces just as I envision them without using the tedious, imperfect hand crafting techniques.

Kudo3D, thank you for developing a 3D printer, which is ideal for both my hobby and my wallet. With the Titan 1, I might even be able to turn my hobby into a business! My imagination can finally be unbridled.
