Our mission is to empower human creativity and advance craftmanship.
At BLNG we fuse art and technology to redefine the creative boundaries of jewelry design, empowering enthusiasts and professionals alike to elevate the craft to new heights that challenge notions of what jewelry is and can be.
We are a team of designers and technologists who bring innovative AI and creative media and entertainment technologies to the world of jewelry.
Our passion lies in enhancing not just what jewelry design can be, but in empowering and inspiring designers around the world. Providing them the tools to be consistently inspired without the constraints of preceding norms- but through the limitless possibilities of their imagination.
Our team's experience brings together the rigors of research from institutions like UCLA with the creativity of the most imaginative organizations on the planet in Disney and Cirque du Soleil, providing a wealth of knowledge for scaling products that power creative processes and augment the possibilities of human imagination.
