Sheer blouses and body-hugging sheath dresses weren't the only things designer Kimberly Ovitz sent down the runway at her Fall/Winter 2013 collection show on Thursday. Clasped on the hands, ears and around the necks of models were pieces of 3D-printed jewelry, which Ovitz released on the website of 3D-printing firm Shapeways immediately after the show.

There are five pieces from the collection available for purchase, ranging from a $35 ear cuff to a $250 necklace inspired by "the intricate exoskeletons found in nature," per Ovitz's description.

Elisa Richardson, manager of PR and social media at Shapeways, says Ovitz and her team reached out to Shapeways after reading up on 3D printing. Shapeways' platform allows anyone to upload designs for products that are only printed after customers place orders, eliminating minimum volume requirements and giving younger designers like Ovitz the confidence to experiment. It also enabled Ovitz to make her designs available for purchase immediately after the show.
