Designing a Jewelry Pendant from

Designing a Jewelry Pendant from Sketch to Production-Ready CAD

Every product starts as an idea.

This pendant began as a hand sketch exploring elegant flowing curves. From there, I transformed the concept into a fully detailed 3D CAD model, refining proportions, stone placement, structural integrity, and manufacturability before creating the final photorealistic render.

For jewelry design, aesthetics alone isn't enough. Every surface, thickness, and setting has to be engineered for production while preserving the original design intent.

Project Workflow

• Initial concept sketch • Parametric 3D CAD modeling • Diamond seat and prong development • Surface continuity refinement • Manufacturing-ready geometry • Photorealistic rendering for presentation

Whether the final manufacturing process is casting, CNC machining, or 3D printing for investment casting, the objective remains the same: create a design that is both visually refined and production ready.

I enjoy turning ideas into manufacturable products, whether that's jewelry, consumer electronics, mechanical components, or industrial products.
