MD1 - In the Beginning
JU-AL Jewel examines the broader experience of unboxing a piece of wearable technology, applying popular tropes of the field to the more sentimental realm of jewelry.
Each piece is crafted by hand out of wax then cast in aluminum and anodized, conflating traditional jewelry techniques with the material expectations and processes of tech-product manufacturing. Some parts contain active electronics, while others don't, but each piece comes in a carefully handmade box with a detailed manual that covers the user-jewelry relationship.
