With the advancement of technology, different software is being implemented in several industries. In the design industry, of course, it is essential. And one of the areas where it is applied is in 3D jewelry design. It can often happen that a design does not fit what the customer initially intended. To avoid complications, headaches, future modifications, and wasted time, there is also software developed for this purpose.

For this, Countersketch Jewellery Design Software has been created – THE MOST USER-FRIENDLY TOOL TO CUSTOMIZE ANY PIECE OF JEWELRY IN FRONT OF YOUR CUSTOMERS; PRICING AND MANUFACTURING WITH A FEW CLICKS. It is an intuitive 3D design software that provides access to a wide range of customizable styles and fabrication options.

And no 3D modeling experience is required. The interface is clear and intuitive, allowing you to visualize how the jewelry will look through a rendering.

IN A MARKET SATURATED WITH DIFFERENT PIECES AND SHAPES, THE DISTINCTION LIES IN CUSTOMIZATION. When the customer participates in the creative process and has the power to decide on certain aspects of the piece, things change, the piece is made for him or her, and if it is a gift for a loved one, the emotional component is greater.

By allowing live interaction with the design in real-time in Countersketch, the process becomes more enjoyable and the customization of each piece of jewelry more precise. It also allows the purchasing process to be adjusted to the tastes – and budget – of the customer. In other words, it allows for a highly individualized and specific design, in order to get the product precisely as the customer wants it to be.

Although customization has always existed, nowadays the possibilities are greater. We can use 3D programs to make the client’s model and, DURING THE CREATIVE PROCESS, WE CAN PRINT A MODEL ON A RESIN PRINTER. We place the gemstone on this model and show it to the clients so that THEY CAN GET A CLEAR IDEA OF WHAT THE MODEL WILL LOOK LIKE ONCE IT IS FINISHED.

Countersketch Jewellery Design Software will allow the client to do his bit. And we, as designers and professionals, will save time and get better results according to what the client has requested.

If you are curious about this software, to familiarize yourself with it and decide to purchase it, a 15-day free trial of CounterSketch is available. This way, you can explore the software’s capabilities for engaging with your customers, as well as the benefits it provides during the design creation.

Matrixgold Jewellery Design Software is a new step forward in the world of computer design software for jewelers. Karat bars created it, a famous company helping people earn extra income from the comfort of their homes since 2009 by exchanging gold products for cash or credits.

The software lets you design your own jewelry and create the pieces you see on catwalks or read about in magazines. You can build them yourself using virtual building blocks known as voxels which are 3D pixels with volume rather than flat pixels on a screen. That means you get to work with actual shapes that adapt to light and cast shadows just like real materials do, giving your designs more realistic surfaces and look-and-feel. You can also apply textures and combine different colors and materials to create the kind of jewelry you want for your customers or simply because it’s beautiful and charming and will look great in your home!

You don’t need any specific knowledge about computers, Flash, or Photoshop to use this tool, but it definitely wouldn’t hurt if you do have some basic computer skills. The software is available both online at MatrixgoldDesign.com and on various devices, including Android phones, tablets, iPad/iPhone/iPod touch, Kindle Fire HD, and PC operating systems so you can access it no matter where you are.

The best part is that there’s nothing to lose – this is a risk-free offer! The money you spend on the design package is a donation to Karat bars International. It will help them continue their mission in assisting people to earn extra income from home by exchanging products for cash or credits. You only have to donate if you want to use this great tool – if not, take it for free and create your jewelry design software out of it!

It’s a great way to express your creativity, share with friends and family, or make for yourself. You can even sell the pieces you design online directly from this software without ever having to spend a cent for additional equipment or pay a single cent in charges!

Once you’ve used it for a while, several things will happen:

First, you’ll have an elegant collection of jewelry that would delight any admirer, friend, or relative.

Second, you’ll have several ideas about what features you’d add to future versions of the software and whether other types of designs could be made using it. It may even become a side income source as people see your work and start paying for custom pieces, just like when they order a physical sample from a jeweler. This is not a typical merchant account job, but if you are familiar with creating new objects on jewelry or clothing 3D software, it can be of interest.

Third, you’ll have some experience in computer graphics and how they work under the hood of this kind of tool. It’s something nice to have in your CV! Whatever happens, remember that it’s always good to test your new skills on simple things before diving into more complex stuff! You don’t want to get disappointed when trying out your first app for designing jewelry only to find out that there’s no way you can create anything remotely similar without spending hundreds of hours learning. It may also turn into a fantastic hobby – just like cooking, painting, or any other creative activity.

The advances in software and the ease of use each of the differing types of CAD packages allow for, now provide a revolutionary role within the traditional bench jewellers creation of one-off pieces.

With CAD software, a jeweller can now see exactly what their designs will look like before they even put saw to metal. This advantage also acts as a great selling point with your customers. Showing the buyer exactly what they are paying for is a powerful tool that can help to seal the deal.

Complex designs are sketched up using commands that may seem very alien for the beginner but are soon mastered with daily practice. I regard it like learning a new trade from scratch except the advantage is to the current bench jeweller that knows what parameters are needed to hold a stone incorrectly. How much metal it takes to keep a stone safe is not something you learn overnight so the advantage like I said goes to those that have worked in the trade.

Although the software does not come cheap even in comparison to an office suite from Microsoft or adobe photoshop, the amount of time and money you can save by migrating to CAD, in the long run, is phenomenal. For instance, if you have to make a brand new custom made head for a particular stone, there is generally a lot of waste after filing and sawing but if you use the CAD with CAM (computer-aided manufacturing) all you have to do is saw off the spru and clean up the cast when it is returned from the casting company. Within the software is the ability to calculate the weight of what the design would turn out like in whatever metal is required giving the added ability to price the piece almost exactly.

Another advantage is taking your workbench anywhere. Your laptop is the new workbench for the digital jeweller and working at home is something to get used to. However, staring at a screen might not seem to be the ideal job to some and can even be seen as cheating to other jewellers that prefer to use the traditional methods the whole time. Personally, I believe that progress can be made using new tools and the use of CAD by jewellers is simply a new tool in the toolbox.

If a sharper blade was found, there would be no complaints or a longer-lasting file due to new nanotechnology, that too would be welcomed. Then what may I ask is wrong with speeding up a process normally done by hand by using newer and smarter technology?

My final word is this, small Jewellers that want to compete with larger jewellers can now level the playing field by using this system. You don’t need to stock thousands of Euro worth of precious inventory, it can all be stored and created virtually on a computer, ready to show on screen to any potential customer looking for something unique and different.
