How Boltenstern is delivering bespoke jewellery pieces with precious metal 3D printing

Cradled inside a precious metal cage is a stone. A group of them dangle from an ear, a necklace, a bracelet. It is architecture in its smallest form, the result of technology meeting tradition, the product of Marie Boltenstern’s influence on an Austrian jewellery atelier born in the 1960s and renowned for catering for the rich and famous.
Marie took over the company from her father, Sven, in 2015. Not long after, having taken the decision to explore the potential of new technologies, she witnessed a presentation delivered by Cooksongold at Basel World, where the application of additive manufacturing technologies in the jewellery sector was the focus. From here, an alliance blossomed, all Boltenstern jewellery pieces are to now be 3D printed, and in September 2018, the output of this collaboration was recognised at the TCT Awards as the best creative application of the technology that year.
