Lydia Jin: Necklace Stand

 

This jewlery stand I created was designed in Autodesk Fusion360 and has two major parts: a necklace plate and a rings&jewlery plate. The neckplace plate has holes in it and this is where the user would hang the necklaces from, I have designed separate holes that are spaced out to prevent tangling. Bracelets can also be hanged here. Then I included a plate at the top of the stand, this is where the user can put smaller jewleries such as rings and earrings in. I originally wanted to create a necklace tree, but later found that it would be hard for necklaces to stay because it is easy to slide off if the tree branches were at an angle. So I modified the design for practicality. After the 3D print was done, I removed the support material and filed the parts to make the stand more smooth. After the filing was done, I bought

spray paint and primed the stand then sprayed white paint on it. The paint color didn't stay on quite well so I had to spray 3 layers. The colors were quite subtle but the paint made the surface smooth and glossy. 

 

I got my inspiration from looking at commercial jewlery stands. This is one example of a necklace tree. The design is beautiful, but it would be hard to keep the jewlery in place with such slippery surface:
