// "Can jewellery up-cycling, applied by means of web-based generative design and 3D printing, democratize the jewellery industry and make people the central part of the design process?" //
Stones and precious metal mining compromises the ecosystem of vast areas and negatively affects the health of people who live there...
The idea of melting down and reusing precious metals (i.e. up-cycling) can be very important to people because most often jewellery has also great sentimental value; people seem to have very strong bounds with their family heirloom...
People would be very keen to up-cycle old family heirloom in order to make something more suitable for them...

The essence of the object would be preserved no matter changing its shape...
