In fashion tech, ancestral know-how and innovation make the most beautiful weddings. Proof of this is the work of Sino-American fine jewelry designer Diana Law, who has chosen to combine 3D printing (or additive manufacturing, made by accumulating successive layers of material), with precious or semi-precious gemstones, in order to create plastic printed accessories. In her Fall-Winter 2019-20 collection, entitled l’Evolution, 3D printed plastic is adorned with sapphires on the eponymous tiara and the "Sapphire Hive Neck" necklace.
