Jewelry design is the art or profession of creating, crafting, fabricating, or rendering designs for jewelry. This is an ancient practice of the goldsmith or metalworker that evolved to a billion-dollar industry with the odyssey from ancient cultures into the machine age. Jewelry design falls under the category of what is commonly known as "functional art," being art that can be worn or used.
Before an article of jewelry is created, design concepts are rendered followed by detailedtechnical drawings generated by a jewelry designer, a professional who is trained in the architectural and functional knowledge of fabrication techniques, composition, wearability and market trends.
Traditional hand-drawing and drafting methods are still utilized in designing jewelry particularly at the conceptual stage, but a shift is taking place to computer-aided design programs likeRhinoceros 3D and Matrix.
Once conceptual/ideation is complete, the design is rendered and fabricated using the necessary materials for proper adaptation to the function of the object. For example, 24Kgold was used in ancient jewelry design because it was more accessible than silver as source material. Before the 1st century many civilizations also incorporated beads into jewelry. Once the discovery of gemstones andgem cutting became more readily available, the art of jewelry ornamentation and design shifted. The earliest documented gemstone cut was done by Theophilus Presbyter (c. 1070 - 1125), who practiced and developed many applied arts and was a known goldsmith. Later, during the 14th Century, medievallapidary technology evolved to includecabochons and cameos.
Early Jewelry design commissions were often constituted by nobility or the church to honor an event or as wearable ornamentation. Within the structure of early methods, enameling andrepoussé became standard methods for creating ornamental wares to demonstrate wealth, position, or power. These early techniques created a specific complex design element that later would forge the baroquemovement in jewelry design.

What's the difference between CAD for Jewelry and CAD/CAM for Jewelry?
With a CAD program you can only make a design, usually a 3D Model. Then you can display the 3D Jewelry design in the screen of your computer. You can also export your design to produce a physical model, usually a wax model. The most popular file format to export in the jewelry industry is the STL format.
A CAM program allows you to produce the instructions to produce your model in a CNC. These instructions are also called G-Code.
From the list above, ArtCAM JewelSmith is the only program that is an integrated CAD/CAM for jewelry program. In ArtCAM JewelSmith you don't have to export or create an STL file to produce the instructions (G-Code) to create your model in a CNC.
The other programs in the list are only CAD program. In these programs you have to create your design in STL format to produce the instructions for the CNC in a separate program.
Can I learn CAD for Jewelry on my own?
Yes, you can learn CAD for Jewelry in your own. Some programs have very good tutorials available. But be prepared to spend a tremendous amount of time practicing, you will also need an unlimited amount of patience. If you want to get a CAD for Jewelry system to save time and money producing your models do not attempt to setup and learn the system by yourself. Get specialized training.

In case the client requires amendments and/or alterations to the design, a separate quote will be issued by vr3djewelry to the client. Upon acceptance by client of such quote, we will make the requested amendments and/or alterations in a timely manner.
CAD/CAM
Stereolithography (.stl) files are produced by 3D CAD (computer aided drawing) programs, and are used by rapid prototyping, wax plotting and milling machines to make physical models of the 3D image. Our 3D jewelry model files in .stl format are error-free and ready for manufacturing. These files can go straight into production on these machines.
Many applications are capable of opening stereolithography files – most major CAD drawing programs, such as Rhino 3D are capable of previewing such files. If you don’t have one of these programs installed in your computer.
These STL files are used in prototyping or milling-machines that craft hard-copy wax models for direct precious metal casting, or for the making of master models or production of silicone molds for volume castings. In case you do not have access to hard-copy model production from STL files, we will be pleased to help you with wax model.(terms and condition applied).
We use JEWELCAD and Rhino Gold, Rhino Jewel.
