A Study on the Design of Jewelry Using Origami Shin DongHyeok Advisor : Prof. : Yoon JaeWon Department of Design Graduate School of Gwangju University Today, modern formative art goes beyond simple decorative areas and develops in diversity and new production methods. In this study, the origami expression, which appears in a three-dimensional form through a regular repetitive folding process, was applied to the jewelry design. By implementing this as a 3D printing and metal casting process, the research and production possibility of jewelry design with a three-dimensional formative beauty was sought. Origami is a traditional Japanese origami art that forms various shapes only by folding. It originated in Japan, but today it has spread worldwide and is used as a means of artistic expression in various fields. Based on the folding structure of origami, it is intended to realize the formative characteristics that are transformed into a three-dimensional form and have variability, rhythm, and three-dimensionality. The theoretical considerations of origami were analyzed as a result of the development of the research, and the research was focused on one of the various types, tessellation, and Miura origami. This clearly revealed repeatability, structural order, and three-dimensional development, so it was judged that the folding structure was suitable for jewelry design. In addition, the concept of metal folding and expression techniques were considered to apply the three-dimensional shape formed through repetitive folding to metal materials. By converting this formative concept to Rhino CAD, we intend to produce a three-dimensional jewelry design using 3D printing. Designs that are difficult to implement the expression technique of metal folding manually can express a precise and detailed structure by using Rhino CAD. After that, it was printed through 3D printing and the complex folding structure was precisely implemented through the burial and casting process. A work was produced that considers the durability, wearability, and aesthetic value required for jewelry. This study expressed the formative characteristics of the origami by applying the folding structure and shape of the origami to the jewelry design. Based on the folding method, we intend to present a creative expression method for three-dimensional jewelry design and contribute to the development of metal crafts. In addition, it was meaningful to expand the expression method and manufacturing method of three-dimensional jewelry design by confirming the possibility that the origami folding structure can be combined with the molding concept of metal folding and metal casting processes.
