Aquela que ilumina linha de joias baseada na mitologia indígena brasileira

Abstract

The one that illuminates. Jewelry line based on Brazilian indigenous mythology The work consists of developing a line of conceptual jewelry inspired by Brazilian indigenous mythology, each piece based on an indigenous entity. The collection is made up of a bracelet, two earrings, a ring and a necklace. The study presents the history of jewelry and its influence on social structures. It also reports on the different areas of jewelry production in Brasil and the new technologies that are being perfected. In order to provide a basis for the creation of the ornaments, different elements and productions of indigenous culture were also highlighted, as well as some of the stories and characteristics of the honored entities. The result is presented through the development of digital prototypes using Rhinoceros 3D software, while the physical prototypes were developed using elements printed on a 3D printer and parts made by hand using wire and bisquit. The development of the digital models and technical drawings enriches the presentation and helps to emphasize the new manufacturing methods within the jewellery industry.
