Jewelry exhibition_Echoes of the Mold

This project presents a series of display stands designed for showcasing rings. The concept was inspired by the process and the art of jewelry making, with a special focus on plaster mould casting.



problem statement:


Repetitive, uninteresting jewelry displays on the market.


target audience:

Individual small brands or artists to display in window shop display to display in traids and exhibitions to present them on social medias.

aim of the project:

Design an unusuall exhibition standers for the rings display, but at the same time simple enough to act as a neutral background.



inspiration

Craftsmanship and Authenticity. Jewellery making process itself was an inspiration, especially tools and materials. Inspiration of the shape of a plaster mold for making casts, that present the negative shape of the jewellery.

process of creating concept


The first stage used a specific ring by Zsolt Horváth, analysing its curved geometry and translating these curves into a display form inspired by the plaster mold, where the ring appears embedded in the material. Multiple 3D models were developed to define proportions, followed by physical testing through 3D printing. Material exploration began with Ytong brick due to its similarity to vermiculite boards used in workshops, but its fragility and tendency to crack made it unsuitable for repeated use. Jesmonite was selected as an alternative due to its strength and ability to be cast in molds, maintaining a connection to the casting process.


developing project for the mass production



At the final step the two-part display stand was designed, connected with magnets, inspired again by the idea of a mold, but this time the inside side. The user can remove the upper part of the stander, place the ring into the lower part, and then close the stand again. The curved and slightly tapered shape inside the stand allows it to hold rings of various diameters securely.
This system makes the display universal while maintaining the sculptural aesthetic. The stands are produced in Jesmonite casts, which means they can be manufactured in multiple copies and potentially produced in different colours or surface finishes.
