JewelBeetle
What it is
JewelBeetle is Windows 3D jewelry design software for creating components and organizing production files. Its builders cover gems, bezels, heads, prongs, gallery rails, and ring shanks, while parametric modeling, ring sizing, and stone-setting tools support design work. The Projects panel stores models alongside STL files, images, and PDFs. For presentation, JewelBeetle includes the Bella render engine, materials and finishes, and turntable animation output in MP4 format. Metal Weights calculates object volume and reports common metal weights in pennyweight and grams, with an option to estimate price using current spot prices. The software supports Windows 10 and Windows 11, requires a Rhino 7 or Rhino 8 license, and needs an internet connection for installation downloads and license validation. A requested two-week trial places a watermark on Bella Render output. Listed purchase options start at $4,995, paid once, sales tax excluded.
