New technologies bring new paradigms for jewelry design. Despite their adoption, these technologies are commonly used to create the same styles of jewelry produced by hand by goldsmiths, so innovation may be limited to manufacturing processes. The shift towards virtualization of the physical world also poses new challenges to jewelry design. This research aims to reflect on how new technologies in jewelry design can give innovative meanings to products. For this, it presents and discusses specific characteristics of jewelry design, thus showing the paradigm of the use of these technologies. That said, it delimits the scope of new technologies relevant to this research, exposing their effects and impacts on jewelry design. Based on documentary research, a selection of cases is made to show the expressive potential of these technologies. Then, through a literature review, it analyzes the mediation that design can make between jewelry and new technologies. Along with the contextualization, experimentation activities in virtual reality, 3D scanning and computational design were carried out, seeking to explore the potential of these technologies through design in an innovative way. The experiments demonstrated specific aspects of the new technologies addressed in this research and also exposed the relationship between them and the process of innovation of meanings in jewelry design.
