AI Orchid Jewelry

(2022)

Expedition to the “jungle“ of artificial intelligence to search for new species.
Created by AI, materialized by me.

I love flowers. I've always liked to surround myself with them, and that's exactly why I created this series of jewelry. At the same time, I wanted to try how to work with artificial intelligence on more complex projects and use it as a tool.

In the beginning, I asked my mother what is her most favorite flower. You already know the answer : ).

I wanted every woman to have her own orchid here, and therefore none of the motifs will be reprinted and all made are very limited editions. Only 1 plastic sheet is always used for production, and as many as can fit on it will be created. Usually, it is 1-3 pieces.

I hope you will like them :)

Care

This object is handmade. I hope it will make you happy every time you wear it.

If you want it to serve you as long as possible, I recommend following the principles:

  • Do not expose to long-term direct sunlight, temperatures close to freezing point, and excessive heat.

  • Avoid contact with oils, creams, perfumes, hairspray, or solvents such as nail polish remover.

  • Do not expose metal parts to water or seawater.

Starostlivosť

Tento objekt bol ručne vyrobený. Dúfam že vám bude robiť radosť pri každom nosení.

Ak chcete aby vám slúžil čo možno najdlhšie, odporáčam dodržiavať zásady:

  • Nevystavovať dlhodobému priamemu slnku, či teplotám blízkym bodu mrazu a nadmerným horúčavám.

  • Zabrániť styku s olejmi, krémami, parfémami, lakmi na vlasy, či rozpúšťadlami ako odlakovač na nechty.

  • Nevystavovať kovové dielce vode, ani morskej.


Made with AI

I played the role of a botanist-researcher and dived into the jungle of artificial intelligence. I was looking for new unknown orchid species.

All these orchids don’t really exist. All of them were “dreamed“ by artificial intelligence Midjourney and used as the base motive of the new jewelry collection. So now they are real. But in a different form : ).

I perceive artificial intelligence as a tool in the process of creating my ideas.


Manufacturing process

  • First of all, in AI Midjourney, images of the orchids themselves are generated

  • This is followed by the creation of a pattern intended for the back side and the graphic work of laying on a plastic sheet

  • Digital printing and cutting prepare the flower for the most important phase

  • By applying heat, the foil shrinks and forms a solid base

  • A double layer of matte varnish "preserves" the flower in its final form

  • The metal parts are attached and the orchid is born


Efficiency & Waste

I don't like waste and that's why it was important for me to use every piece of the source material, and that's how, in addition to large brooches, smaller ones or various earrings and parts were created.
