Photorealistic Jewelry
3D Rendering
Physically-based rendering of a 3D jewelry model into a photograph-indistinguishable image, with accurate metal reflectivity, gemstone caustics, and subsurface scattering rendered correctly for translucent stones such as opal, jade, and moonstone. Inputs: 3DM, STEP, OBJ. Outputs: print-resolution render, layered PSD. Built for pieces marketed or sold before physical production exists.
A Photorealistic Render, Indistinguishable From an Actual Studio Photograph
Generic 3D renders read as plastic the moment gemstones are involved, because caustics, refraction, and subsurface scattering behave in ways a default render engine setup gets wrong by default.
We build calibrated material shaders per metal and stone, set HDRI lighting to studio-photography convention, and calculate true caustics per facet, so the render holds up next to an actual photograph.
Photorealism in jewelry rendering isn’t a style setting — it’s solved material physics.
The rendering process:
- Calibrate physically-based material shaders per metal type
- Set HDRI lighting to studio-photography convention
- Calculate accurate caustics and refraction per gemstone facet
- Render subsurface scattering correctly for translucent stones
- Verify the result against a physical reference where available
Made for :
brands marketing pieces before production, crowdfunding and pre-order campaigns, and catalogues built entirely from CAD.
Custom Jewelry
CAD Design
Manufacturing-accurate parametric CAD modeling in NURBS, built to real casting tolerances and stone-setting geometry rather than only a visual approximation intended purely for the finished render. Inputs: sketches, specifications, reference images. Outputs: 3DM, STEP, STL. Built for custom pieces, bespoke commissions, and designs headed to physical production.
A CAD Model That Renders Beautifully and Casts Correctly at the Bench
Many CAD models render convincingly but don’t correspond to a manufacturable design — wall thickness too thin to cast, prongs that can’t physically hold a stone, geometry a bench jeweler simply cannot execute.
We model in NURBS to real casting tolerances, simulating accurate stone-setting geometry and wall thickness from the first draft, so the file that renders beautifully is the same file that casts correctly.
A CAD file that only looks right on screen fails the moment a jeweler tries to actually make it.
The method:
- Model in NURBS for manufacturing accuracy, not visual approximation
- Simulate accurate prong geometry and stone-setting tolerances
- Verify wall thickness against real casting requirements
- Scale precisely to ring size or true piece dimensions
- Export manufacturing-ready files alongside the render
Ideal for :
bespoke commissions, custom engagement rings, and designers who need a file that manufactures as well as it renders.
Sketch-to-CAD-to-Render
Pipeline
Full production pipeline from a hand sketch or 2D concept through parametric CAD modeling all the way to a final photorealistic render, with structured client approval at each individual stage. Inputs: sketches, technical drawings, reference notes. Outputs: staged CAD files, final render. Built for new designs moving from concept to market-ready visual.
One Hand Sketch, Carried All the Way Through to a Finished Render
Jumping straight from a rough sketch to a finished render means proportions, stone placement, and scale get interpreted once, and any misreading isn’t caught until the piece is already fully rendered — or worse, cast.
We stage the pipeline deliberately: a block-out CAD for proportion approval first, refined detail next, and the photorealistic render last, so each stage is confirmed before the next begins.
Skipping straight from sketch to final render is exactly where expensive miscommunication happens.
The pipeline stages:
- Interpret the sketch into a first-pass proportion block-out
- Secure proportion approval before adding stone or metal detail
- Refine to full stone-setting and metal detail in CAD
- Render the photorealistic preview for final sign-off
- Deliver the approved CAD file alongside the finished render
Suited to :
new jewelry designs moving from concept sketch to market-ready visual, with approval required at each stage.
Multi-Metal & Stone
Variant Renders
Batch rendering of every metal and stone option from a single locked CAD model, camera angle, and lighting setup, without producing physical samples of each variant. Inputs: finished 3DM or STEP file. Outputs: full variant render set, layered PSD. Built for catalogues offering multiple metal or stone choices per design.
Every Metal and Stone Option, Rendered From One Single Model
A catalogue offering yellow, white, and rose gold in three stone options traditionally means manufacturing physical samples of each combination, or photographing only one and asking customers to imagine the rest.
We lock the camera and lighting once, then swap metal and gemstone material properties per pass, batch-rendering every combination from the same CAD model with identical framing across the full set.
This starts from a 3D model, not a photograph — a different problem to the one photo recolouring solves.
The variant process:
- Lock camera angle and lighting once per model
- Swap metal material shaders across yellow, white, and rose gold
- Swap gemstone material properties across every stone option
- Batch-render every combination from the same locked setup
- Deliver a consistent variant set ready for catalogue use
Built around :
catalogues and e-commerce listings offering multiple metal or stone options per design, rendered before manufacturing.

Photo retouching corrects an existing photograph of a physical piece. 3D rendering builds a photorealistic image from a CAD model, often before any physical piece exists. The technical challenge is different too — rendering has to solve accurate material physics like caustics and subsurface scattering, where retouching works with light already captured by a camera.
Yes. We model in NURBS to real casting tolerances, simulating accurate stone-setting geometry, prong placement, and wall thickness from the first draft. The same file that produces the photorealistic render is manufacturing-ready, exported as STL or STEP, so what looks correct on screen also casts correctly at the bench.
Photo-based metal recolouring changes the colour of an existing photograph of a real piece. Variant rendering starts from a 3D CAD model and swaps material properties before any photograph exists, letting us batch-render metal and stone combinations that haven’t been physically manufactured yet, from the same locked camera and lighting setup.
