Earring Jewelry CAD Designer Needed

I run a small line of sterling-silver jewelry and I’m looking for a reliable CAD partner who truly understands how pieces move from screen to casting bench. Most of the work in my queue is earrings—mainly eng-clasp and classic stud styles—featuring large lab-grown sapphires (round, oval, pear, and marquise).

Here’s how we’ll work together: I supply precise stone measurements and a visual reference for the overall look; you decide the exact prong size, wall thickness, seat depth, and any extra structural bracing so the model survives casting and sets cleanly in 925 silver. An eye for real-world tolerances is critical—I’m after someone who thinks like a bench jeweler, not just a 3D artist.

Typical payout for a straightforward design is in the $10–20 range. When a design is approved, I’ll need:
• an editable Rhino 3DM file
• a production-ready STL ready for print or CAM

If this sounds like a fit, send over a few samples of past jewelry CAD work—finished renders, screenshots, or photos of cast pieces you’ve designed are all welcome. I review portfolios first, then we can move directly into the next earring assignment.
