What is CAD jewellery design?

CAD jewellery design is computer-aided design used to plan jewellery digitally before it is made. It helps show shape, stone layout, setting style and proportions.

Can GemTrove design an engagement ring using CAD?

Yes. GemTrove can use CAD for suitable custom engagement ring projects, including solitaire, halo, hidden halo, three-stone, bezel, pavé and custom settings.

Can CAD be used for pendants, earrings and bracelets?

Yes. CAD design can help plan pendants, earrings, bracelets, bangles and other custom jewellery where accurate proportions and stone layout matter.

Can CAD help remodel old jewellery?

Yes. CAD can help plan how existing diamonds or gemstones from old jewellery may be reused in a new design after assessment.

Can I see exactly how the finished jewellery will look?

CAD helps show direction, structure and proportions, but the final jewellery may still differ in real metal, stone sparkle, polish and hand finishing.

Can I make changes after seeing the CAD design?

Design refinements can often be discussed before final approval. The scope depends on the project stage, complexity and production timing.

Do I need to choose the diamond or gemstone before CAD starts?

For best accuracy, the main stone should usually be selected or measured before CAD begins, especially for custom rings and gemstone settings.

Can GemTrove design around my own stone?

Often, yes. GemTrove can assess your stone, review its size and condition, and discuss whether it is suitable for CAD design and custom making.

Does GemTrove use gemstone STL scanning?

For suitable projects, gemstone STL scanning may assist accurate design planning around unusual shapes, heirloom gemstones or non-standard cuts.
