Rhino 3D : Jewelry Design In Action

Learn to define the central stone position, create a basket setting, design spacing and rails to maximize light and ensure moldable clearance for mass production.

Create a 3 mm center-stone basket in Rhino 3D by importing project files, setting stone diameter, and extruding rails for a watertight cutter-ready subtraction.

Create a cutter for the stone and subtract it from the bezel by building and aligning layers, copying geometry, and applying a boolean difference to form a watertight object.

Learn to create closed prongs in Rhino from scratch by selecting, deleting, copying, mirroring, and extruding to form a secure claw setting; adjust height and apply fill for print-ready jewelry.

Position the heads and set finger size using a 17 mm inner diameter in Rhino 3D. Rotate the arc 45 degrees in the front view to shape the shank.

Create a ring shank profile in Rhino 3D using rectangle or line, set depth and weight, then divide the profile and add yellow guide lines on a profile layer.

Import a reference image into Rhino, create a dedicated layer, center and align it using object snaps, and use the image as a scaled guide to draw the jewelry curves.

Draw shoulder curves for the jewelry piece using interpolation with few control points, apply offsets and layers, and adjust forms to refine the top-surface profile.

learn how to adjust and match curves in rhino 3d by manipulating control points, rotating and copying scales on either side, and ensuring smooth, continuous line transitions for jewelry design.

Use the pull command in Rhino 3D to create inside curves by selecting a surface, adding an inside curves layer, and following the cylinder shape with red and green curves.

Explore building complex jewelry surfaces in Rhino 3D by employing loft and sweep2 commands, using curves, joins, mirrors, and precise cross-sections to shape seamless surfaces.

Create the bottom part of the shank and finalize its overall profile, then set up the shoulders by copying, rotating, and joining profiles, and preparing for subsequent setting steps.

Apply boolean difference in Rhino 3D to subtract cutters from the shoulder, then create and arrange prongs for a center stone, aligning it on the surface for a secure setting.

Finish the ring shank by mirroring coping to the other side, rotate and copy curves, then patch and join surfaces to prepare for 3D printing.

Prepare a multi-part ring design in Rhino 3D for 3D printing by separating the shank and heads, enabling color variations, easier assembly, and exporting a watertight STL.
