Does GemTrove offer precision gemstone scanning in Melbourne?

Yes. GemTrove offers precision gemstone scanning and STL file support for custom jewellery design, gemstone setting, remodelling and CAD planning from its Melbourne CBD showroom.

Can you scan an existing engagement ring to make a matching wedding band?

Yes. GemTrove can scan and measure an existing engagement ring to help design a fitted, curved, notched or matching wedding band that follows the original profile more closely.

Can scanning remove the gap between an engagement ring and wedding band?

Scanning can help design a closer-fitting wedding band, but the final fit depends on the engagement ring design, setting height, finger size, band width and manufacturing limits.

Can you scan any jewellery piece?

Many jewellery pieces can be scanned or measured for CAD reference, including rings, pendants, earrings, bracelet parts, gemstones and heirloom pieces.

What is an STL file used for in jewellery?

An STL file is a digital 3D model used in CAD design, 3D printing, wax growing and manufacturing planning.

Is gemstone scanning useful for opals and irregular stones?

Yes. Gemstone scanning is especially useful for opals, cabochons, freeform stones and irregular gemstones that are difficult to describe with simple measurements.

Does GemTrove have Sarin DiaScribe in-house?

Yes. GemTrove has in-house Sarin DiaScribe technology to support diamond inscription and identification workflow where suitable.

Can DiaScribe be used for diamond inscription?

Sarin DiaScribe is used for precise laser inscription work on polished diamond girdles where suitable. GemTrove can advise whether the diamond is appropriate.

Do I need to bring the actual ring or gemstone?

Yes, the actual item is best. Photos and measurements can help discussion, but scanning and accurate matching usually require the physical item.

Can scanning help with jewellery remodelling?

Yes. Scanning can help record original jewellery details, plan new settings, reuse old stones, create matching components and support CAD design for remodelling.

Precision scanning for gemstones, rings and jewellery design

Precision scanning helps convert a physical gemstone, existing ring or jewellery shape into useful digital information for CAD design and manufacturing planning.

It can support setting design, bezel planning, claw positioning, remodelling and matching a new jewellery piece to an existing one.

Existing ring scanning for wedding band matching

Many engagement rings have unique profiles, centre stone baskets, hidden halos, cathedral shoulders or low-set details that create a gap with a straight band.

Scanning the existing ring can create a stronger digital reference for a curved, contoured, notched or fitted wedding band.

Final fit still depends on design and practical manufacturing limits

When gemstone STL scanning is useful

Some gemstones cannot be planned properly from length, width and depth alone. Opals, cabochons, freeform gems, carved stones and customer-supplied stones may need more detailed references.

Scanning can help CAD design follow the gemstone’s actual outline more closely for bezels, protective frames, pendants, rings and remodelling work.

Opals and cabochons
Freeform or irregular gemstones
Heirloom jewellery, missing parts and custom CAD for supplied stones
