MaeVona Co-Founder Debuts 3D-Printed ‘Tùsaire’ Collection
Scottish American designer Maeve Gillies collaborated with Platinum Guild International on jewelry created by direct metal 3D printing.
The centerpiece of the “Tùsaire” collection is the “Torc of the King of the Mountains” in platinum with a Scottish Renfrewshire quartz set in platinum and titanium ($28,500).
Edinburgh, Scotland—Scottish American designer Maeve Gillies, co-founder of Celtic-inspired U.S. bridal brand MaeVona, has debuted the “Tùsaire” collection, featuring pieces created using 3D printing.
The collection, developed in collaboration with Platinum Guild International (PGI), blends Celtic inspiration and modern-day technology across 30 statement pieces.
Gillies used direct metal 3D printed technology with platinum and titanium for the metal work to research, innovate, and showcase the capability of 3D printing and precious metal power technology, said the brand.
The designs in the collection are a tribute to the designer’s Celtic heritage, featuring rare Scottish stones and titled Tùsaire, which translates to “pioneer” in Scottish Gaelic.
“This exciting new technology, and my amazing technical collaborators, have allowed me to start to bring to life my dreams of where platinum can take us,” said Gillies.
“To see the collection realized in full precious metal with my Celtic-inspired style, is a magical experience.”

The “Ear Drops of the Queen of the Stars” with Scottish quartz, agate, and diamonds set in platinum ($14,550)
MaeVona’s “Princess of the Rivers” torc necklace in platinum and titanium with diamonds ($34,950)
The “Ring of the Queen of the Stars” with Scottish quartz, agate, and diamonds in platinum ($9,670)
The “Cuff of the Dawn Prince” in platinum ($9,120)
Throughout Tùsaire, there are torc necklaces with interchangeable elements, cuffs, rings, and earrings. Seven of the pieces showcase one-of-a-kind native Scottish stones.
The centerpiece of the collection is the “Torc of the King of the Mountain” necklace, seen at the top of the article, set with a Scottish Renfrewshire quartz and designed like an ancient Celtic torc.
Each piece is named according to a potential character in Gillies’ imagined Celtic tale, “The Lost Jewels of Caledonia.” In this tale, each being is needed and valued, coming together to thrive as a collective.
Gillies translated her love for her native landscape and high hopes of a beautiful future in times of great change into the designs of these pieces, the brand said.
The pieces are ultralight and hollow, explained the brand, with platinum and titanium that swirls and coils into bold, modern silhouettes.
Portions of the design are left unpolished, with others being high-polished, to showcase the range of styles the 3D printing technology can produce.
“We really wanted to put 3D printing of platinum to the test, to identify advantages and challenges, in hope to expediate the technology’s application in jewelry to create novel designs and experience,” said Tai Wong, global director of innovation at PGI.
“There is no doubt additive manufacturing will be very important for the future of jewelry, as it unlocks many new possibilities.”
The Tùsaire collection retails for $800 to $35,000.
It debuted at the Inhorgenta show in Munich last month, along with an educational roadshow presentation on the 3D printing technology journey.
It is available on the Maeve Gillies website and via pop-ups at select retailers worldwide.
