# Elegant Pear Drop Pendant

Welcome to RhinoArtisan!\
In this tutorial, we’ll guide you step by step through the complete process of creating a heart-shaped pavé pendant with a pear gemstone centerpiece using RhinoArtisan’s advanced jewelry CAD tools.\
Starting from an asset curve, we’ll build the base shape using ellipses and sweep surfaces, refine the geometry, and create a recessed area prepared for pavé gemstone placement. You’ll learn how to control surfaces with isocurves, generate gemstone areas using Push & Pull, and create an elegant pavé layout using RhinoArtisan’s automatic pavé tools.\
We’ll then add prongs, apply cutters to prepare the model for manufacturing, and finish the pendant by creating the central gemstone basket, support structure, and bail. The final result is a clean, production-ready jewelry model ready for rendering or manufacturing.

📌 What You’ll Learn:\
✔ Creating the base shape using curve assets and scaling tools\
✔ Building a pendant structure using ellipses and Sweep Two Rails\
✔ Using isocurves and blends to define pavé gemstone areas\
✔ Creating recessed gemstone zones with Push & Pull\
✔ Generating pavé layouts with Automatic Pavé tools\
✔ Adding and refining prongs for gemstone settings\
✔ Preparing the model for production using cutters and Boolean operations\
✔ Creating a pear-shaped gemstone basket and support structure\
✔ Designing and customizing a pendant bail and loop
