Jewelry CAD Designer & 3D Modeler

May 2026 - Present • 5 mos

Worked with clients to develop custom jewelry concepts into detailed 3D CAD models, with a focus on rings, gemstone settings, and refined band designs. I handled projects from the initial reference images and sketches through modeling, detailing, refinement, and final visualization. I typically started by studying the client's reference and understanding the desired stone arrangement, ring proportions, setting style, and overall appearance. I then built the basic ring structure and gradually developed the setting, prongs, side stones, and other design details. A major part of my work involved carefully positioning gemstones and refining the surrounding structure so the final model looked both visually balanced and practical as a jewelry design. I also reviewed the model from different angles to catch proportion issues and make adjustments before preparing the final presentation. For the finishing stage, I created realistic 3D renders that allowed clients to clearly see how the completed piece could look before moving toward production or prototyping. I kept communication open throughout the process so revisions could be made efficiently and the final design stayed aligned with the original concept.

Custom Jewelry 3D Designer

Jan 2026 - Present • 9 mos

Worked on custom ring and jewelry projects where clients provided sketches, reference images, or rough concepts that needed to be developed into polished 3D designs. My role covered the full modeling process, from interpreting the initial idea to creating a detailed and presentation-ready jewelry model. I began each project by studying the reference carefully and identifying the key design elements, including the center stone, side stones, setting structure, band shape, and decorative details. I then created the main ring form and gradually developed the gemstone settings and supporting elements around it. For designs with multiple stones, I paid close attention to spacing, alignment, symmetry, and proportions so the finished piece maintained a clean and balanced appearance. I also refined the prongs and surrounding structures to give the model a realistic jewelry construction. After completing the main CAD work, I reviewed the design from different viewpoints and made adjustments based on the client's feedback. I then prepared the final model and realistic visualization so the client could clearly understand the finished piece before moving toward production or prototyping.
