From Concept to Precision
Once your concept direction is approved, we begin the CAD stage, the part of the process where your design becomes a precise, manufacturable 3D model.
If the Concepts stage is about creativity, CAD is about engineering. Every angle, proportion, and structural detail is built with production in mind.
Our goal is simple: turn your approved concept into a CAD model that’s accurate, beautiful, and ready for the next step of jewellery manufacturing.
What Happens During the
CAD Stage
1. Translating Your Concept into a 3D Model
Your 2D sketch is transformed into a detailed digital model using professional jewellery CAD software.
This ensures the piece is built with:
-
Correct proportions -
Proper stone tolerances -
Realistic metal thickness -
Structural strength -
Sizing for wearability
What Happens During the
CAD Stage
2. Professional Renders You Can Review Clearly
When the CAD model is complete, you receive clean, high-resolution renders showing:
- Top, front, side, and perspective views
- Stone arrangement and sizes
- Metal appearance and detailing
- Structural elements not visible in 2D sketches
Example Timeline & Workflow
Day 1-2
Send us your hand sketch, digital drawing, or mood board.
Day 3
We translate your concept into CAD models.
Day 4
We create a physical prototype.
Revisions & Feedback
Small adjustments at this stage are normal and encouraged.
You can refine:
Making changes in CAD is faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective than changing anything later during prototyping or sampling.
This is why CAD is such an important part of the jewellery design process.
What Your Design Journey Looks Like
From sketch to finished jewelry, your design moves through a clear set of stages. Click through to see what happens at each step and how your idea comes to life.
Brief
What you submit, what a “good” sketch includes, and what information is required to start.
Concepts
Creative direction, mood boards, alternate concepts, ownership, and 2D sketches.
CAD
Design translated into CAD, checked for feasibility, structure, stones, and production readiness.
Prototyping
Choosing the right prototype approach (3D print, wax, direct cast) based on the design.
Sample Approval
What is shared for approval and how revisions are handled.
Next Step: Concepts
After your brief is approved and payment is made, we start developing visual directions, exploring styles, materials, and interpretations of your idea before moving into CAD.
