# Custom 3D Printed Jewelry American Pearl's Quick Casting Process Can Replicate Lost Heirlooms By Alyson Wyers | Published 2014-05-02 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-3d-printed-jewelry References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2014/05/3d-printed-heirloom-jewelry.html) & [3dprint](http://3dprint.com/2885/jewelry-replicator-3d-print-jewelry/) If you are looking to replace a family heirloom, custom 3D printed jewelry could be your answer. American Pearl's quick turn around time (around three days!) makes what is potentially a difficult and emotional process easier to deal with. While the [stones and pearls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wonder-pearl) themselves are real, the highly customizable bands are casted using 3D printing technology. The increasing availability of 3D printers is revolutionizing the way many products are made, and jewelry is no exception. The CES 2014 exhibitors can use this technology to replicate long lost heirlooms as well as [favorite pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/collection-of-personalized-jewelry). The American Pearl website is also instrumental in the custom 3D printed jewelry making process by making every aspect easier to alter. As the jewelry pieces are not created from scratch, the delivery time is exceptional. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.8/10 - Popularity: 19% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Related on Trend Hunter - [2D-to-3D Jewelry Try-Ons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-try-on-technology.md) - [Customizable Ring Print Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/signet-print-kit.md) - [AI-Assisted Jewelry Design Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blng.md) - [Customizable Charm Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rembrandt-charms.md) - [3D Crystal Printing Parnterships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xolo-swarovski.md) - [3D-Printed Bone Implants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bellaseno.md) - [International Jewelry-Focused Digital Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jeweler-collective.md) - [Patented 3D-Printed Bone Implants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/p3d-bone.md) - [Customizable Jewelry Builders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jewelry-builder.md)
