Countersketch is a 3D software designed for customizing jewelry such as engraving names, symbols, and insignias. The software has over 2000 customizable styles that can be used from rings, pendants, bracelets, and many more pieces of jewelry making it the perfect tool for customizing that precious jewel since most clients nowadays prefer to have something engraved in their jewelry such as a family crest, name or stone this can be very hard if done manually which is why most engraving companies rely on the Countersketch software because of its ability to render the entire jewelry image in a most realistic way as much as possible. Make sure that this is the one that client would want to be done in his/her jewelry.

Learning how to use the Countersketch software involves patience and the willingness to learn because the user must have an eye for detail since it involves fined details being done to a piece of jewelry which is usually in sizes and dimensions. They can learn the entire software in the counter sketch training program wherein they would be granted an opportunity to learn the basics and the advanced features of the counter sketch software via online one on one sessions, onsite and virtual classes which would greatly help the user to train in the certain aspects of jewelry design. They can purchase the classes which include detailed video tutorials on the official website of Gemvision.com, which starts at $349 and they can also choose other classes to better enhance their jewelry designing.

The counter sketch software cannot be run on low spec desktop or laptop because it is considered as one of the most demanding software due to its 3D rendering animations and post-processing of high definition images, to be able this software smoothly and without delay, the desktop or laptop must have an i7 CPU, 12GB RAM, graphics card with at least 1 VRAM of capacity, stored in SSD or Solid State Drive for better performance, and an internet connection, Now all these specifications can be seen as a lot of investment because nowadays the price of higher-end desktops and laptops can be quite intimidating but all of these are worth it because you can have as much as many clients as you want because everyone owns a piece of jewelry.

I would like to point out in this article how prospective buyers of handmade jewellery can benefit greatly from Computer-Aided Design (CAD).

• The image created with CAD is very photorealistic. The customer gets a true impression of the piece of jewellery which is going to be created for them.

• CAD software offers the possibility of flexibility. Design changes are much easier implemented to satisfy the consumer.

• A CAD-created render beats a mediocre or poor drawing at any time. Not every jeweller or salesperson has the skills to draw a piece of jewellery to the finest detail and prospectively.

• A manufacturing jeweller has the opportunity to explore design ideas not seen before and therefore offer uniqueness, which clients prefer.

• A Jeweller has the possibility to create a catalog of originally designed jewellery without the outlay of physical materials, which reduces overheads and keeps costs down.

• Remember it is only the design that is done by CAD. The piece itself is still fully handmade.

Casting vs Handmade Jewellery

There is a misconception that jewellery designed by CAD (computer-aided design) has to be cast. This fallacy continues to be mentioned in blogs and on websites that are confusing to the end consumers.

Admittedly the majority of jewellery manufacturers use CAD technology to mass-produce their jewellery, in other words casting. Misleading descriptions in their catalogs or on their websites like hand-crafted or hand-assembled add to the confusion for the buying public.

The Customer Benefits

But this doesn’t mean that this new technology is used in the same way by all jewellers. The adaptation of modern design tools together with the traditional qualities of hand-manufactured jewellery can be of great advantage to you, the end consumer. One of the biggest benefits to customers and jewellers is a much lower rejection rate. Clients have a very clear understanding right from the beginning of what they will be receiving. A poor drawing is open to many interpretations and the cause for many breakdowns in customer-retailer relationships.

Traditional Methods but Modern Technology

As a potential buyer, you will find that you can have direct input into the design of your choice. If you like the band to be a little bit wider, prefer a different gemstone, think rose gold would be nicer than yellow gold, then these changes can be made for you to visualize immediately. You should then receive from your jeweller a hand-made piece identical to the design created by the CAD software. This hand-produced piece of jewellery will outlast a cast version for a long time.

The mix of modern technology and traditional methods contributed to a much greater consumer satisfaction rate.
