Wholesale Jewelry CAD Design Services

Turn an idea, sketch, photograph or jewelry concept into a design that can be reviewed and prepared for manufacturing.

deBebians provides wholesale jewelry CAD design services for jewelry retailers, independent designers, brands and qualified trade professionals.

Whether you need CAD for a one-of-a-kind customer project, an engagement ring, a matching wedding band, a signet ring, a pendant or a piece intended for ongoing production, our team can help develop the design with manufacturing in mind.

From Concept to Manufacturing-Ready Jewelry Design

A successful jewelry CAD should do more than create an attractive image. The design must account for the stones being used, metal thickness, setting requirements, structural support, wearability, finishing and the realities of manufacturing. Our jewelry experience allows us to evaluate a project not only from a design standpoint, but also from the perspective of the jewelers, setters and craftspeople who will manufacture and finish the piece.

Starting Point Details & Description
Hand sketches Rough or preliminary drawings showing the general direction and shape of the design.
Inspiration photographs Reference images capturing desired styles, specific angles, or aesthetic features.
Existing jewelry Physical pieces or previous creations to replicate, restore, or modify.
Customer drawings Client-provided concepts or mockups with specific design notes and features.
Stone measurements Exact dimensions (mm, depth, carat) required to fit loose gemstones into the CAD framework.
CAD files requiring modification Existing 3D models or files needing adjustments for size, structure, or setting updates.
Measurements and written specifications Technical briefs outlining dimensions, metal preferences, shank widths, and ring sizes.
An idea that still needs to be developed Conceptual thoughts or verbal descriptions transformed into concrete production models.

Interactive 3D CAD Review

For applicable projects, we can provide an interactive 3D rendering that allows the design to be rotated, zoomed and reviewed from different angles before manufacturing begins.

This gives our wholesale clients an opportunity to evaluate important details such as proportions, stone placement, overall profile, band width and the relationship between different design elements.

It can also make it easier for a retailer or designer to review the proposed design with their own customer before authorizing production. To the right is an example (it works best in Chrome).

Detailed Specifications for Production

Our CAD workflow can include a specification or quad sheet showing important information needed for manufacturing.

Depending on the project, this may include:
• Estimated metal weight
• Overall dimensions
• Band width
• Stone quantities
• Stone sizes
• Stone shapes
• Setting locations
• Views of the design from multiple angles

These specifications help create a clearer transition from design into manufacturing, stone sourcing, setting and finishing.

  • Built for Real Jewelry Manufacturing

    One of the most important differences between jewelry CAD and ordinary 3D design is understanding what happens after the file is completed.

    Prongs that are too thin, unsupported sections, improper stone spacing or unrealistic proportions may look acceptable on a computer screen but create problems at the bench.

    We approach CAD with the finished piece in mind.

    When we believe a design should be modified for strength, setting, manufacturing or everyday wear, we will explain why and recommend an appropriate solution.

  • CAD Support for Individual Projects and Ongoing Production

    We work with wholesale clients who need a single custom design as well as businesses producing a continuing stream of projects.

    For businesses with recurring work, maintaining a consistent design and review process can help streamline future projects and communication.

Continue the Project With deBebians

CAD can be used as a standalone part of a project or as the first stage of a larger manufacturing relationship.

After the design is approved, deBebians can also assist with casting and production, diamond and gemstone sourcing, stone setting, micro pavé setting, engraving, polishing and final quality control.
