In collaboration with Shapeways fashion designer Kimberly Ovitz took the idea of natural defense — an exoskeleton — and brought her first jewelry line to life. This fluid, organic 3D printed jewelry collection includes five pieces that fit to your body like armor.

Each piece in the line comes in either in stainless steel or nylon and is made using 3D printing technology. Each piece can be customized so the wearer has a choice of design, color and size.

At the Decoded Fashion event at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week this week, Ovitz presented her jewelry line at the Fall 2013 runway. Already, her design can be ordered the day of the runway show and customer could receive a piece in two weeks, thanks to the 3D printing. "Consumer demands are changing," Ovitz said, "Everyone wants everything at the touch of a button."

All five pieces are now available on Shapeways, prices range from $35 to $250.

Markus Ferrigato, head of innovation at Swarovski Professional said at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week that Swarovski will engage with 3D printing in the future. The goal is "to really make each individual a designer themselves and support them."
