I played around a bit with the background choices in my CAD rendering for today and noticed that the overall resolution improved. These gold earrings feature bezel-set emerald cabochon stones and pear shaped pearl drops:
And here is a thought for today…
Seek the lofty by reading, hearing and seeing great work at some moment every day.

Joana,
I see your progress in the CAD, but wonder if I will ever appreciate it in the way that I like your hand drawn/painted images.
Perhaps it’s because I am a musician on an acoustic instrument.
Hi Nina,
I agree that the hand-drawn/painted renderings are more beautiful and compelling. When I worked as Design Associate for David Liska Custom Jeweler, I noticed that it was the men, more often than the women, who would get excited by the CAD drawings.
I’d rather see an artwork of a jewelry piece than a computer drawing any day – keeps the romance, mystery and exclusivity alive for me.
That said, the large-scale manufacturers all want designers who have advanced CAD skills. So, off I go to do more studying!
