beautiful technology

If you love statement jewelry--jewelry that isn't just a large scale or bold color, but jewelry that actually makes a statement--you can't miss our pendants from Nervous System Jewelry. Nervous System is a design studio that works at the intersection of science, art, and technology. They create their pieces using a novel process that employs computer simulation to generate designs and digital fabrication to realize products.Many "programs" are influenced by nature: the shape of a ferns, the veins of leaves, and the wings of butterflies are scanned into the computer and then the program produces an original design inspired from those shapes and textures. The design is then etched into a sheet of stainless steel, creating pieces that are durable but also delicate and light. Sure to be showstoppers--whether paired with a formal dress or jeans and a tshirt--these pendants are not so much jewelry as they are works of digital art.
