Healthcare Jewelry Design
Jewelry with a Purpose
The Sirona StaySet splint ring set aims to replace the bulky, unattractive medical splints that are sold at pharmacies. The Sirona brand recognizes that injuries require some sacrifices, but the healing process can be beautiful. Elegant and sophisticated, Sirona’s StaySet ring offers an attractive option for busy women who value their appearance. Life can’t be put on hold for a sprained finger, but with the Sirona StaySet ring your dinner parties, lunch meetings, and date nights can continue beautifully.
THE PROCESS
Early Iterations
THE CONSTRUCTION
I used Fusion360 to make the models for 3D printing. Computer rendering and 3D printing allowed for fairly quick iteration and final development. Having the physical iterations helped me figure out measurements and ensured that the ring set fit.
I printed the final design using the website Shapeways, which offers a variety of metals and plastic options. If I developed the product further, I’d like to consult medical professionals and jewelers to determine the ideal materials and ergonomic design.
