Price and Value

The CAD jewelry modeling or wax carving service is priced at $400. This fee provides you with a physical model in either wax or resin, offering a tangible representation of your design. This model is invaluable for:

  • Visual Confirmation: You can hold, touch, and truly see the dimensions and intricate details of your future piece before it's cast in metal.

  • Final Adjustments: It allows for any last-minute tweaks or refinements to ensure absolute perfection before committing to the manufacturing stage.

  • Cost-Effective Prototyping: Creating a physical model at this stage is significantly more cost-effective than making changes once the piece has been cast.

For clients who previously engaged in our initial design consultation, the $50 deposit paid during that stage will be applied towards this $200 fee, meaning you'll only pay an additional $150 to receive your model.

Length of Service

The timeframe for completing the CAD model or wax carving can vary depending on the complexity of the design. Typically, clients can expect to receive their physical model within 1-2 weeks from the approval of the initial design (if applicable) and receipt of payment. We prioritize both speed and meticulous attention to detail to ensure your model is perfect.

Why It's Unique

Our CAD jewelry modeling and wax carving service stands out due to its dual accessibility and the unparalleled precision it offers:

  • Direct-to-Client & Jeweler-to-Jeweler: We proudly serve both individual clients eager to see their custom designs take shape and other jewelers who may require specialized modeling expertise. This collaborative approach fosters a stronger jewelry community and ensures high-quality results across the board.

  • Precision and Detail: Leveraging state-of-the-art CAD software, we can create incredibly intricate and precise digital models that translate seamlessly into physical wax or resin. For designs that benefit from a more organic touch, our skilled artisans meticulously hand-carve wax models, ensuring every curve and contour is perfect.

  • Tangible Visualization: Unlike flat sketches, a physical wax or resin model provides a complete three-dimensional representation. This tactile experience is crucial for understanding scale, proportion, and how the piece will truly look and feel. It eliminates guesswork and builds confidence before the final manufacturing process.

  • Expert Craftsmanship: Whether digital or hand-carved, our models are produced by experienced professionals who understand the nuances of jewelry manufacturing. This expertise ensures that the model is not only aesthetically pleasing but also structurally sound and ready for the casting process.

This modeling service is the critical bridge between concept and creation, offering a detailed, tangible preview of your custom jewelry piece with the flexibility and precision demanded by both individual clients and industry professionals.
