Audio Waveform Jewelry
Sakurako Shimizu is a Japanese artist, curator and designer of conceptual jewelry based in Brooklyn, NY.
Sakurako has created a line of jewelry that integrates audio waveforms into the pieces via laser etching and calls it the Waveform Series. The really cool thing about them is that the waveforms are made from actual recordings such as yawns, church bells, giggles and someone saying “I do” (of course this one is for the wedding bands).
Check them out:
The “Bell” sound bracelet. I’d kill for a ring shaped like this:
The “Giggle” necklace:
A closeup:
The “Yawn” broach:
Another broach, “Wow”:
And of course the “I do” rings:
Very cool. Somehow I’m not sure if my wife would be too keen on getting jewelry with audio waveforms on it… but I think these things are awesome.
If you know of any other synth-related jewelry, please post it here!
I hope this wont put a damper on my sine wave jewelry
wou, strongly reminds me of QR-Buckles by fluid forms

These pieces are incredibly cool. Looks like a fun way to show off a love of audio.
If you could customise then then it would be great. Especially the I do rings..
very pretty.
The broaches would be extremely awesome if they were blown up big enough to take up an entire wall.
Crossing the genres there is a brilliant idea. It just goes to show that science is beautiful in it’s own way.
Interesting idea but the jewelry is so ugly! If I didn’t know it was modeled after audio waves I would wonder why the hell anyone would buy it.
I was wondering if they did personalized wave forms like mine and my spouses voices saying “i do”?
Audio waveforms integrated to jewelries is a great concept!
I agree with Anthony, waveform jewelry is pretty awesome, but making the jump to art would be way cool as well. Maybe open it up to a lot more people. Awesome.
wedding ring is a beautiful things to make a beautiful memory on your wedding
What an absolutely briliant idea!
These pieces are absolutely the coolest. I’d exchange my wedding ring in a heartbeat for one of yours (if only my wife didn’t care).
