Modern Elegance: Fashion Jewelry Modeling

Modern Fashion Jewelry, Modeled with Precision

Contemporary jewelry lives on clean geometry, fluid lines and details that look effortless — and getting there in CAD takes real technique. Modern Elegance: Fashion Jewelry Modeling is a project-based course where you’ll build six modern pieces in RhinoArtisan, each one introducing a different way of constructing, flowing and setting geometry:

• Eternal Weave Ring — matched reference curves become a woven eternity band with Smart Flow by Curve, channel-set with 1.25 mm gems in micro settings.
• Organic Pendant — profiles dress a set of free curves, and a composition of rounds, marquise, oval and pear gets baskets and bezels tuned to the tenth of a millimeter.
• Scatter Ring — a stone cluster composed over a 2D reference image, wrapped around the finger with Quick Flow and rigid objects.
• Claw Prongs Ring — ten graduated stones on Advanced Gems on Curve, each in a sculptural claw basket that refits itself when you swap the center gem.
• Christmas Tree Pendant — channel setting, pavé, a heart-basket trillion, arrayed decorative modules and a star topper, all in one festive piece.
• Trillion Prongs Ring — flowing SubD prongs that hold a one-carat stone and carry pavé of their own, closed with a swept shank and a custom basket.

Along the way you’ll master the tools that define modern RhinoArtisan work: Smart Flow and Quick Flow, Gems on Curve and its Advanced variant, micro settings with V cutters, parametric baskets and bezels, Pavé Along Surface, and the SubD editing that keeps organic forms clean.

Every section pairs a short overview with illustrated step-by-step lessons — over 80 annotated captures across 38 lessons — and closes with the full video demonstration. The 3DM starting files and reference images are included as downloads, so you can follow along piece by piece.
