3D printed silver brooches featuring your favorite landscapes

By at 11:21 pm Tuesday, Sep 8

3D printing comes to custom jewelry: this German company will let you pick your favorite piece of terrain from the planet Earth and they'll make a silver brooch featuing it. I'm holding out for the hyper-detailed version that includes nanoscale clockwork people who meander up and down your tiny silver mountains making ultrasonic bird calls.
The Earth Brooch Silver is an eclectic custom piece of jewelry you can easily design yourself. Just select your desired location. Within a few seconds the place's distinctive landscape turns into a 3d-preview of your custom jewelry.

As soon as you are satisfied with the preview we cast the custom brooch with fascinating detail in 975 silver. The Earth Brooch Silver perfectly makes for a unique silver wedding or other special anniversary gift.
