KiRiVOO – 3D printed low impact jewellery

KiRiVOO proudly presents our one of a kind silver jewellery collection THE GOOD HEART that is 100% genuine and on-demand manufactured using a direct precious metal 3D printing technology. 

Unique Design

Simple can be harder than complex but a delicate combination of both makes a design stand out. This jewellery collection embodies a mixture of Scandinavian simplicity, elegance and modernised ethnic details (such as the KiRiVOO pattern that plays an important role in the design).

Selected styles can be personalised by adding 3D initials. 

Low Impact Jewellery

Doing good and being thoughtful to ensure that we preserve the health of our planet is a simple universal vision. For KiRiVOO, its more of a common sense that puts us take steps to reduce the social and environmental impact of our products and to make sure they are produced responsibly throughout the supply chain.

This collection is fully manufactured using an additive manufacturing processes (precious metal 3D printer) that guarantee quality standards comparable to those obtained by using the traditional production technics. That means time and cost saving benefits and almost irrelevant environmental impact:

(1) We are minimising waste as we produce on-demand and minimum of 95% of the precious metal leftovers are always recycled. The need to refine metals is reduced by a great extent, which allows an almost 100% reuse rate of the non-consumed and non-contaminated metal powder used to print jewellery. Material used for support structures is not contaminated and can be simply remelted and used for other purposes.

(2) The technology allows to skip several process steps which were “a must” in the lost wax casting process as we will see our creation become a real metallic piece directly from the CAD/CAM design.

(3) The environmental impact is also reduced by skipping of many process steps which require higher consumption of electrical energy and other consumable materials such as investment, rubber, crucibles, gas and others. 

Ethically sourced and made

All of the pieces are made of the Argentium sterling silver 925 that is ethically sourced from Italy. Since 2013 this company has been a certified member (00001020) of the Responsible Jewellery Council, testifying to its ethical credentials. All of our jewellery is ethically made at the Cloud Factory in Tallinn.

Eco Packaging

Sold in the FSC certified eco-friendly craft boxes (65x65x17mm) and the jewellery certificate is made of recycled paper. 

How 3D printing is saving the environment

3D printed jewellery is the future of personalised fine jewellery. Direct precious metal 3D printing technology enables to create one of the kind designs, saves resources, is a big step forward to a zero waste industry and offers customers to have personalised jewellery instead of other items that are sold to everyone.

 Additive manufacturing processes (aka 3D printing) also guarantee the quality standards comparable to those obtained by using the traditional production technics, mean time and cost saving benefits, use fewer human resources and have almost irrelevant environmental impact.

Firstly, 3D printing enables to minimize waste as everything can be produced on-demand and allows an almost 100% reuse rate of the non-consumed and non-contaminated metal powder used to print jewellery — the need to refine metals is reduced by a great extent. Material used for support structures is not contaminated and can be simply remelted and used for other purposes.

Furthermore, the technology also allows to skip several process steps which were a must in the lost wax casting process as we will see our creation become a real metallic piece directly from the CAD/CAM design. The environmental impact is also reduced by skipping of many process steps which require higher consumption of electrical energy and other consumable materials.
