Creating Jewelry with CAD
Custom designed jewelry came into vogue as back as the 17th century. Some of the techniques are still in use even today. However, since the introduction of the computer aided design (CAD), custom designed jewelry reached a new standard. Along with amazing designs, this technology also enables customers with more design choices and thus better quality products.
The process of designed custom designed jewelry is called lost wax casting. The process involves creating a cut out of the jewelry from the wax by the experts following which the replica is poured into a flask and filled with plaster (investment). It is then allowed to dry; once the replica hardens, it resembles an identical copy to that of the flask.
Once the burning process is over, the melted metal is inserted in the flask using vacuum casting. Once the metal turns hard and is cooled, the plaster gets broken on its own. This is done to bring out the unfinished jewelry casting, which is filled, cultured and prepared for the final stage. The following procedure involves gemstone setting or setting of other precious/semi-precious stones. A number of jewelers follow this process in order to make a custom designed jewelry.
However, in the CAD process, most of the above-mentioned processes are avoided. The customers are given the freedom to create mock designs prior to the actual creation of the design itself. The software is able to produce thousands of designs and the measurements are so accurate that one does not stand the chance of losing a stone on account of the metal’s weakness.
Custom Aided Design has not made jewelry designing simpler but also enhanced its quality. The greatest benefit of custom handcrafted jewelry is that customers can manipulate the designs as per their choice. Custom designed jewelry is thus unique and will surely make heads turn.

Calibrated Antique Cut Diamonds
There is a large difference between the overall affect that an antique cut diamond has as compared to the brilliance of modern cut diamonds. While antique cut diamonds exude a certain subtle panache, the modern cuts provide a brilliance that is unparalleled in its own intense way.
Many jewelry designers have been attracted by the subtlety of the antique cut and have adopted it in their jewelry designs to enhance the overall look of the setting. Another aspect that makes the antique cut so appealing and mesmerizing is the fact that each antique cut diamond looks different and reflects the shape of the rough diamond. The subtlety of the piece also ensures that the attention of the onlooker is directed towards the overall design and setting and not only on the glittering diamonds.
The antique diamond cuts that are being patronized these days are
Briolette – The round teardrop shape finds use in earrings and necklaces and other designs of jewelry where a dangling piece can enhance the look. A simple diamond drop can add to the look of earring piece and multiple such pieces are fit to adorn the neck of a princess. The briolette has triangular facets and no girdle. The size that they are most popular in is between 0.50 carats to 1.00 carats.
Rose – The rose antique cut has a flat base and a triangular facet that makes a peak. The flat base can have a round, triangular or pear shape and therefore lends itself to being used in various kinds of settings and designs. This antique cut was the most popular prior to the discovery and development of the round one. Most rose cuts are available in the range of 3mm to 6mm.
Bead – This completely faceted diamond is like a bead, as the name suggest. It can be drilled longitudinally through the center to be used in a string. A string of diamond beads like a pearl string can make many heads turn. These diamond beads are also a favorite among the designers when they want to space pearl necklaces and other jewels. The average range of diamond beads found in the market range from 2mm to 4mm.
Rondelle – Rondelle is a diamond disk and has faceted edges. Due to the nature of the cut, it is generally cut from rough diamonds that are extremely flat to begin with. These are mostly used as spacers between colored stones, jewels, gold beads or pearls. The range that the rondelle is found in is larger and these flattened disks come in the range of 2mm to 6mm.
Among these antique cuts, the round brilliant is considered the most superior. The nature of the cut allows for a higher and more efficient light return. Though modern designers consider brilliance and light return efficiency as important, they lay a far higher emphasis on design layout, setting and the sculptural artwork. The emphasis on these elements makes the antique cut diamond a more attractive option.
Given the high demand for antique cut diamonds, these started to be produced in bulk. The orchestrated unevenness in shape and design is not appreciated by many designers since it is against the ethos of antique cuts. But the benefits of using these antique cut diamonds far outweigh the negatives associated with mass production. The fact that the antique cuts are subtle, bring out the best in the setting and design and draw attention to the shape of the face up are reasons enough for the jewelry designers to choose antique cut diamonds over regular ones. And with the ever increasing demand for designer jewelry, antique cut diamonds are set to take the industry with their grace, elegance and panache.
