Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
What it is
TiaraCAD is jewellery CAD software for designing rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and custom diamond jewellery. It runs as a Rhino plugin, and Rhino 8 is required for evaluation. Its “Stone-First” approach builds metal around the stone and generates only the metal required by the design. Tools include gem settings, modular design, detailing, and support for multiple open files. Users can import company gem charts, metal density charts, and setting parameters for default use. TiaraCAD can create a bill of material report for quotations in one click. Release notes state that version 2.6.5 added JewelCAD import. The software is offered for Windows and macOS, with the features page describing native macOS operation for TiaraCAD 2. A 15-day evaluation is available, but there is no free plan. Continuous internet access is not required; license validation needs an internet connection once, or every 14 days with Cloud Licensing. One-time plans range from $995 to $1,990, depending on Rhino licensing.

The verdict
TiaraCAD targets jewellery workflows inside Rhino, combining stone-led modelling with configurable charts, reporting, and file import. Designers should account for Rhino 8 requirements, the absence of a free plan, and the listed one-time license costs.
Who it suits
It suits jewellery designers familiar with Rhino who need stone-focused modelling, setting tools, and quotation reports. Basic Rhino understanding is sufficient, and Grasshopper knowledge is not required.
