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.
