Key Responsibilities:
3D Modeling:
Translate 2D hand-drawn sketches, reference images, or verbal concepts into precise 3D digital models using industry-standard software (e.g., MatrixGold, Rhino, or ZBrush). Manufacturing Feasibility: Ensure all designs are production-ready. This includes calculating metal weight, accounting for casting shrinkage, and ensuring structural integrity (e.g., wall thickness and prong durability). Gemstone Integration: Accurately design stone seats, pavé layouts, and complex settings (bezel, tension, channel) based on specific stone dimensions and counts. Photorealistic Rendering: Generate high-quality 3D renders and animations (using V-Ray or KeyShot) for client presentations, marketing materials, and ecommerce catalogs.
Technical Documentation:
Create detailed technical sheets (spec sheets) including stone manifests, metal types, and assembly instructions for the production team. Rapid Prototyping: Prepare and optimize STL/SLC files for 3D printing (SLA/DLP) or CNC milling; troubleshoot potential printing issues.
Trend Analysis:
Stay updated on global jewelry trends, new gemstone cuts, and emerging CAD/CAM technologies to keep designs competitive. Required Skills & Qualifications: Software Proficiency: Expert-level knowledge of Rhino and jewelry-specific plugins like MatrixGold or RhinoGold. Familiarity with ZBrush for organic/sculpted designs is a major plus.
Jewelry Anatomy:
A deep understanding of how jewelry is constructed— specifically how pieces are soldered, polished, and set with stones. Gemology Knowledge: Basic understanding of gemstone properties, hardness, and cuts to ensure designs protect the stones while maximizing their brilliance.
Communication: Strong ability to collaborate with Bench Jewelers to resolve design-to-bench conflicts. Design Interpretation: Act as the primary bridge between the client’s vision and the technical output; interpret abstract concepts, mood boards, or rough client sketches into functional 3D designs that maintain the original aesthetic intent.
Experience & Education:
5-8 years of experience in CAD design in jewellery manufacturing industry. Portfolio: A strong portfolio demonstrating a range of styles and technical proficiency. Education: A degree or diploma in Jewellery Design or Product Design is preferred, though specialized CAD certification is often sufficient if backed by experience.
