What is CAD jewellery design and what it involves

  When you’re buying a bespoke piece of jewellery, you’ll want to make sure it’s of the highest possible quality, standard, and of course, design. More and more jewellers are starting to advertise CAD services for designing jewellery, but many prospective buyers have very little understanding of what this actually means and involves. CAD stands for Computer-Aided Design, also know as 3D jewellery design and essentially means that your item will be designed with technology before it is crafted in the real world. CAD allows you to view the design in incredible detail, and make any changes that you want before the manufacturing process begins and your jewellery is actually created. This means that your item is exactly as you want it to be, down to the finest detail.
