There are now a number of 3D-printed jewelry pieces that have been successfully created based off of one's heartbeat or soundwaves, but the Aura Pendant brings new meaning to customized jewelry of this kind.
The Aura Pendant from Brazil-based architecture firm Estudio Guto Requena is designed to help capture a visual representation of one's love story. To do this, the firm created an app that is able to generate one-of-a-kind pendant designs. To capture their heartbeat, users are instructed to hold a finger to the back of their phone's camera and activate the device's flashlight. With the app, users are also able to speak their unique love story so that emotional data can be captured and turned into a stunning design that will be made into a wearable 18k gold keepsake.
