Het V.

I am a professional Jewelry CAD Designer with 5+ years of hands-on experience in jewelry design, 3D CAD modeling, product development, and production-ready modeling. Over the years, I have worked on a wide range of jewelry projects, from custom one-off designs for independent jewelry businesses and Etsy sellers to commercial collections and production work for established US-based jewelry brands.

My experience includes working on projects for brands such as Shop GLD and Slate & Tell, as well as handling CAD requirements for numerous smaller jewelry businesses, independent designers, and Etsy sellers. This has given me the ability to understand different design styles, production requirements, budgets, and client expectations. I am comfortable working with both highly detailed technical briefs and simple concepts, sketches, reference images, or even rough ideas and turning them into accurate 3D jewelry models.

My main area of expertise is jewelry CAD modeling, where precision, proportions, functionality, and manufacturability are extremely important. I focus not only on making a design look good visually, but also on creating a model that can realistically move forward into casting, 3D printing, stone setting, finishing, and final production. I pay close attention to details such as wall thickness, stone placement, prong and setting structure, clearances, proportions, weight considerations, and overall construction wherever required by the design.

I have experience working on different types of jewelry, including rings, earrings, pendants, necklaces, bracelets, charms, custom pieces, statement jewelry, and other fashion and fine-jewelry designs. I can work with existing concepts and references while also helping develop a design when the client has only a basic idea of what they want. My goal is always to understand the intended final product before creating the CAD, so that the result is practical as well as visually accurate.

Working with both established brands and smaller independent sellers has also taught me the importance of communication and adaptability. Every client has different expectations, production methods, design preferences, and deadlines. Some clients provide detailed technical drawings, while others provide photographs, screenshots, sketches, or reference products. I am comfortable working with different types of input and can translate those references into a professional 3D CAD model.

For independent jewelry designers and Etsy sellers, I understand that every design can be important to the business. A single product may need to be developed carefully before it is launched, photographed, manufactured, and sold to customers. I therefore focus on creating clean and reliable CAD models that can be used as a practical foundation for production rather than simply creating a visually appealing 3D model.

For larger brands and production-based projects, I understand the importance of consistency, accuracy, repeatability, and following specific design requirements. Having experience with different types of clients has helped me develop a flexible approach to CAD work while maintaining a strong focus on detail and quality.

I can also make revisions based on client feedback and work through multiple stages of development when required. I believe good CAD work is not just about software skills; it is about understanding jewelry construction, anticipating production requirements, communicating clearly, and paying attention to the small details that can make a significant difference in the final product.

My objective is simple: to provide accurate, detailed, production-ready jewelry CAD that helps clients turn their ideas into real products. Whether you are an established jewelry brand, an independent designer, a small business owner, or an Etsy seller looking to develop a new product, I can help transform your concept into a professional 3D CAD model ready for the next stage of production.

With 5+ years of experience and exposure to a wide variety of jewelry projects and clients, I bring practical industry experience, attention to detail, flexibility, and a production-focused mindset to every project. I am always open to discussing new designs, custom projects, collections, and long-term CAD requirements.
