Location - Sitapura, Jaipur Working days - 6 Key Responsibilities: 3D Modeling: Translate 2D hand-drawn sketches, reference images, or verbal concepts into precise 3D digital models using industry-standard software (e.g., MatrixGold, Rhino, or ZBrush ). Manufacturing Feasibility: Ensure all designs are production-ready.

This includes calculating metal weight, accounting for casting shrinkage, and ensuring structural integrity (e.g., wall thickness and prong durability). Gemstone Integration: Accurately design stone seats, pavé layouts, and complex settings (bezel, tension, channel) based on specific stone dimensions and counts. Photorealistic Rendering: Generate high-quality 3D renders and animations (using V-Ray or KeyShot ) for client presentations, marketing materials, and e-commerce catalogs.

Technical Documentation: Create detailed technical sheets (spec sheets) including stone manifests, metal types, and assembly instructions for the production team. Rapid Prototyping: Prepare and optimize STL/SLC files for 3D printing (SLA/DLP) or CNC milling; troubleshoot potential printing issues. Trend Analysis: Stay updated on global jewelry trends, new gemstone cuts, and emerging CAD/CAM technologies to keep designs competitive.

Required Skills & Qualifications: Software Proficiency: Expert-level knowledge of Rhino and jewelry-specific plugins like MatrixGold or RhinoGold . Familiarity with ZBrush for organic/sculpted designs is a major plus. Jewelry Anatomy: A deep understanding of how jewelry is constructed—specifically how pieces are soldered, polished, and set with stones.

Gemology Knowledge: Basic understanding of gemstone properties, hardness, and cuts to ensure designs protect the stones while maximizing their brilliance. Communication: Strong ability to collaborate with Bench Jewelers to resolve design-to-bench conflicts. Design Interpretation: Act as the primary bridge between the client’s vision and the technical output; interpret abstract concepts, mood boards, or rough client sketches into functional 3D designs that maintain the original aesthetic intent.

Experience & Education: Portfolio: A strong portfolio demonstrating a range of styles and technical proficiency. Education: A degree or diploma in Jewellery Design or Product Design is preferred, though specialized CAD certification is often sufficient if backed by experience.
