Claudia and Catalina, the sister duo of Cleo and Cat, produce a bold artistic collection of polymer clay jewelry. Their pieces are great attention-grabbers, as they are rich with color and semi-precious stones.
The polymer clay medium allows for a sculptural quality, while the large scale of each piece magnifies a great attention to detail. I am particularly drawn to Cleo and Cat's collection of rings called Drama, Fusion and Nocturnal -- be sure to check them out.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Sculptural Polymer Clay Jewelry
- Creating bold and artistic pieces of jewelry using polymer clay as the medium presents new opportunities for 3D modeling and specialized tooling.
- Large Scale Jewelry
- Creating larger pieces of jewelry that stand out and grab attention is a new trend that could lead to the use of 3D printing and production.
- Semi-precious Stone Accents
- Incorporating semi-precious stones into jewelry designs provides an opportunity for exploring new materials and styles, and experimenting with new techniques of design and augmentation.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Fashion Jewelry
- Establishing a new trend of large scale, sculptural polymer clay jewelry pieces could improve and innovate the fashion accessories industry.
- Fine Jewelry
- Adding semi-precious stone accents to high-end jewelry items can offer a new avenue for growth and innovation in the fine jewelry industry.
- Jewelry Tools and Production
- Creating new tools to work with polymer clay and semi-precious stones, as well as using 3D printing for manufacturing larger pieces of jewelry, can lead to disruptive innovation for the jewelry tools and production industry.
