Jewelry brand 'Hexatope' is offering consumers the unique opportunity to create their unique 3D-printed pendant design.
The unique system enables a consumer to manipulate a hexagonal design online, while a 3D printing machine transforms that idea into a physical metal pendant. After the design has been printed, Charlotte Dann, Hexatope's founder, hand-cures, molds, threads and finishes each piece by hand from her London-based studio. This system provides people without experience or resources with the opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind design, that can be worn for personal pleasure, or gifted to a loved one.
Hexatope poses as an alternative to fast fashion chains by offering consumers a more affordable approach to personalized jewelry creation and design.
