• Proficiency in jewelry CAD software (e.g., RhinoGold, Matrix, or equivalent).
• Extensive experience with rendering tools (KeyShot, Blender Cycles, or V-Ray).
• Understanding of jewelry fabrication processes, including casting, stone setting, and polishing.
• Ability to produce clean, watertight models suitable for 3D printing and production.
• A portfolio showcasing jewelry-focused 3D work, encompassing both CAD models and final renders.

Bonus Skills:

• Familiarity with AI tools for rapid prototyping, such as AI-assisted design iterations.
• Experience with AR/3D product configurators for e-commerce applications.
