Originates the design concept and material story.

Develop My CollectionCAD Design Team
Jewelry CAD Design & Engineering
Specialist team
Engineers the piece so it can actually be cast, set, and worn.
Our CAD design team brings 16+ years of jewelry CAD experience, including work with major fine and fashion jewelry houses, and has trained jewelry CAD through FIT and GIA. Every design is engineered to be manufacturable before it ever reaches production.
Production-ready CAD files, technical drawings, and manufacturability review — the file a caster uses to make the real piece. Not a marketing image.
Team experience includes David Yurman, Alexis Bittar, Verragio, Temple St. Clair, Ippolita
Engineer My PieceMarketing Visuals Team
Jewelry Visualization & Motion
Specialist team
Makes the piece look irresistible for social and campaign launch.
Our visualization team creates photorealistic jewelry stills and fluid 360-degree animations that let brands present and market pieces before production begins. This work has earned strong organic attention on social media.
Photorealistic marketing stills and 360° animation for Instagram, ads, and landing pages — built to sell the look, not to manufacture from.

Both start from a 3D model of a piece. What each produces, and what it can be used for, is completely different.
Makes the piece real
CAD & Jewelry Engineering
Led by CAD Design Team
Production-ready CAD, technical drawings, and manufacturability review — the exact file a caster uses to cast, set, and finish the physical piece. Engineering-first. If it isn't manufacturable, it doesn't ship.
Used for: Casting, stone setting, quality control, and production.
Makes the piece sell
Renders & Animation
Led by Marketing Visuals Team
Photorealistic marketing stills and 360° animation, styled and lit for Instagram, ads, and landing pages — built to sell the look of a piece before or alongside production. Marketing-first, not a manufacturing file.
Used for: Social media, paid campaigns, and pre-production launch marketing.
Most collection launches use both: the CAD design team engineers the piece so it can be made, and the marketing visuals team visualizes it so it can be marketed.
Proof, in context
We keep press, individual career experience, and collaborator work clearly separated — so credentials are never overstated.
