What is CAD?

CAD stands for Computer-Aided Design. Diving in the world of jewellery, CAD refers to the use of computer software to create, modify, and visualise jewellery designs. This is really useful for when you are looking for something completely custom & want to see how it would roughly turn out.. By discussing your ideas with the designer, they are able to tell you what is viable & what is not, giving you a realistic understanding. CAD kind of puts what is in your head, onto a screen for not so much money at all! And it is a lot quicker to do. It has become an essential tool in the jewellery industry for designing intricate and detailed pieces. Jewellery CAD software allows designers to create three-dimensional (3D) models of jewellery pieces, which can be further manipulated, refined, and analysed before the physical creation of the jewellery. If you then want to see it made, you can have a wax ring formed before doing any final changes to then make it into your chosen precious metal !
