new york-based dutch designer alissia melka-teichroew of byAMT inc is showing pieces of her jointed jewels collection
at dutch design week 2011. using the same ball joints as those found in cars and hip replacements,
each piece appears to be assembled out of separate parts. using selective laser sintering, the jewelry objects can be printed
as a single entity, a ball inside a ball, and do not require any assemblage. 
 
the technology has been applied in a variety of ways and color has been added to the coated nylon material to create blue,
pink and yellow variations. the newest versions of the jewels also come in black.
