    This is my first time printing some of my topological knots pendants and other geometric jewelry in steel (and one in bronze), I'm very happy with the results. These are all pendants that don't have eyelets or bails so you can wear them different ways.

    Seashell Pendant

    This one is actually in unpolished bronze. I wanted to make a seashell pendant that didn't have a visible eyelet or need any findings so I tucked a bar inside the shell. With some patience you can get a thin chain to go over and under the bar to attach the pendant, I had to remove the clasp ends first and put them back on after, but I think the effort is worth it for the visual effect.

    Braided Septafoil and Triple Trefoil Knot Pendants

    These are printed in stainless steel with no additional post-processing. Since I am interested in knot theory I wanted to make models of topological knots that could also double as jewelry and 3D printing is perfect for that.

    Seven Petal Pinwheel

    This one is printed in polished gray steel. It's darker than I expected. Originally I only had it for sale in cast metal but the steel print test came out perfect.
