10-Day Design Challenge: Finalists announced and the voting starts July 15
We’ve again had a great response to our 10-Day Design Challenge – Jewelry for summer, and again it’s made for a hard job choosing the final group of 20. Below you can see pictures of each open round finalist, and BELOW THE PICTURES is the voting panel. If you’re a Designer of one of the winners below, feel free to invite all your friends and family to vote for you. In our very first Design Challenge there was a very lively discussion about the choice of winners. So for all of you with strong opinions this is your chance to make them heard.
Please note you can click on the images of each product to go to their individual showroom page for more detail. Please remember, clicking on the image is NOT A VOTE for the product, you need scroll down to the bottom of the post and make your choice in the poll located there. Good luck everyone! Voting closes on Sunday August 3rd.

This is so unique! I love it!

Very unique ring design, and you can let everyone know immediately what “weather” you are . . . such as: “all cloudy”=in a funk, “sun on top”=sunny disposition, etc.
July 16th, 2008 at 1:54 pm
This is an amazing piece. Vibrant in its design and colors. Very modern and hip, something I can see being sold on QVC. This piece is well-deserving of winning!

Very unique

Just curious. There is no “see results” link. Does this mean voting will be a secret until the end? Not a bad idea but it is kinda fun to see how you are doing in the standings.
Just wanted to congratulate all who were chosen as finalist and encourage those who were not. There were some really amazing designs. Good luck to eveyone.

[...] In the spirit of Ponoko’s latest design challenge, I interviewed jewelry designer Melissa Borrell. She explained her work’s evolution from sculptural to drawing-based, her recent fascination with shadows and how a move from the West Coast to the East Coast inspired the Fantasy Shade. [...]

does the design with the most votes win? or is it decided by the judges?
July 22nd, 2008 at 2:08 pm
Hi Jessica, it’s a mixture of both but the voting is very important. From our 10-Day Design Challenge page:
“Over a period of about 15 days, the Ponoko community will vote on your design.
These votes will help our judges nominate the winning design.”

They are all great looking! I love them all and wished I could for vote for them all except for #19 that Hello Daisy by Sarah Design atrocity. That has to be the ugliest piece of design I have ever witnessed, I’ve been doing design for 20 years.
August 8th, 2008 at 8:27 am
I really like that piece. The way it hangs and the engraving are nice touches. I don’t see anything wrong with it.
