About

I'm the founder and Senior CAD Designer at Goldcrest Jewelry 3D Modeling Studio in Yerevan, Armenia. I've spent 16+ years in the jewelry industry — starting in traditional jewelry making and gemstone setting, then moving fully into CAD and digital sculpting since 2013.

Since 2016 I've led a team of 4 CAD/3D modelers, delivering production-ready, casting-accurate fine jewelry files for clients internationally. We work daily in Rhino, MatrixGold, ZBrush, and KeyShot, covering everything from single custom pieces (rings, pendants, engagement sets) to full collections.

What makes our work different: every model is built with manufacturing in mind — correct wall thickness, stone-accurate seats, prong/pave/channel settings that actually set clean, not just pieces that look good in a render.

As a studio, we're set up for both one-off custom projects and ongoing, long-term collaborations. If you need a dependable CAD partner, I'd love to talk.
