Under the guidance of a professor, he began to experiment with algorithms that could alter the way light is reflected on a surface. What started out as a theoretical effort became practical in 2016, when Testuz cofounded Rayform, a technology company that works with luxury makers to “sculpt light” on nearby surfaces, often as an anti-counterfeiting solution.
In September 2019, Testuz and his business partner, Yuliy Schwartzburg, parlayed the technology into a jewelry company called The Rayy, which makes a range of minimalist, unisex rings and pendants that can be customized to reflect sunlight into a personal message.
