The presale begins January 24th 2023, and ships out February 6th 2023.
LACE by Jenny Wu – a designer jewelry brand that we discovered for the first time five years ago, is launching Link, a new 3D printed chain-link bracelet.
Produced in collaboration with additive manufacturing company 3DEO, Link brings the highest level of precision that is made possible through 3DEO’s proprietary Intelligent Layering® technology. The design of Link completely redefines how a chain link is made traditionally, as each link connects to each other without any additional hardware, hinges or pin connectors. Because each link is an independent piece, it also allows for adjustability in terms of size as well as finishes.
LA-based 3DEO has highlighted the capabilities of its technology across many industries but this is the first time we see the company being involved in the jewellery industry. The company’s patented Intelligent Layering® combines 3D printing with CNC milling to achieve unprecedented intricacy and complexity.
This type of precision was not possible until now, making Link the first commercial jewelry design that has ever been produced with this premier technology, the company says.
“This collaboration has been several years in the making,” LACE founder, Jenny Wu, explains. “I’m especially excited because 3DEO’s innovative technology allows me to produce an interlocking chain that I have not been able to do previously directly with 3D printing.”
Each link is connected through a ball joint that runs along an integral track on an adjacent link.
The chunky chain link bracelet has been an eye catching trend for the past year. LACE seeks to create new unique variations to this new classic. Link is produced from stainless steel 17-4PH which boasts high strength and corrosive resistance. It’s a material that has been used extensively in aerospace and medical industries. At its launch, Link will be offered in 3 finishes, matte, polished, and black oxide, with new finishes to follow later this year.
This unisex bracelet can be adjusted to fit all wrist sizes, as the links can be easily removed or added. With presale starting on January 24, Link will ship on February 6th, just in time for Valentine’s Day delivery.
