3D Design & Development for Jewelry and Watches
High-precision modeling from CAD, metal and gemstone materials that behave correctly under light, and configurators for metal and stone options.

The constraint that shapes everything
FTC Jewelry Guides apply to a rendered image exactly as they do to a photograph, including how treatments and simulants are represented.
The FTC Jewelry Guides set out what may be called gold, silver, diamond or "cultured", and the Kimberley Process governs rough diamond provenance. Retouching that changes apparent clarity or color walks straight into that. This is a practical note, not legal advice.
What jewelry and watches are dealing with
Small items with enormous value per pixel, where a customer decides on detail they can only see if somebody shot and retouched it properly. Focus-stacked macro photography, reflection and metal retouching, gemstone color accuracy, and 360-degree or video views.
How a project runs
- When the work happens Tied to collection launches and to the fourth quarter, with long lead times because each asset is slow.
- Who signs it off A designer or owner comparing the render against the CAD and against a physical piece.
Where it usually goes wrong
Watch for: Gemstone materials that render as glass. Dispersion and internal reflection are what make a stone read as a stone, and approximating them shows immediately.
What it costs
3D design & development work starts at $39.00 per render with us. The pricing page puts every rate next to what the US market typically charges, and a quote turns the range into one number for your volume.
