From Artifact to Accessory

Reimagining the traditional Fijian Iri and Seru as 3D-printed earrings. This collection explores how additive manufacturing can translate cultural silhouettes into lightweight, modern jewelry.

The Iri Drop

3D Printed Fan Motif

The Seru Pendant

3D Printed Comb Motif

V1.0

The Seru’s vertical lines provide a striking geometric silhouette, optimized here for resin or fine-filament printing.
