3D Jewellery Rendering London
Photoreal 3D jewellery renders for collections that need images before the finished piece is ready, or more views than a shoot can sensibly cover. I work from CAD, technical drawings or detailed reference, then build the metals, stones and light in Blender.
The result is a precise still image for product pages, line sheets and campaign use, shaped with tactile material realism and controlled sculptural light.
Based in London, working with jewellery brands and agencies worldwide.
Selected jewellery CGI
A selection of ring and watch studies showing how precise modelling, stone response and controlled highlights carry from a still render into motion.
Eternal Flame ring animation
A slow reveal built around the profile of the setting and the way light travels across the metal and stone.
Engagement ring 3D visualisation
A measured turntable that keeps the stone, setting and polished metal clear from every angle.
Tissot watch animation
Macro movement and controlled highlights reveal the case, dial and mechanism without rushing the product.
How a 3D jewellery rendering project works
A clear five-stage process from approved reference to final files.
01
Reference and scope
We confirm the piece, required views, intended use and launch timing. CAD files are ideal, but technical drawings, sharp reference photography or a physical sample can also work.
02
Model preparation
I clean and prepare supplied CAD, or build the jewellery from approved drawings and dimensions. Prongs, stone seats, profiles and small construction details are checked before look development.
03
Materials and lighting
I build the metal, diamond and gemstone materials, then shape the light around the piece. The aim is accurate form, readable stone structure and highlights that feel photographed rather than synthetic.
04
Review
You receive review renders at the agreed stages. We refine camera angle, proportions, material response and lighting before I produce the full-resolution set.
05
Delivery
Final stills are supplied in the sizes and formats agreed for campaign, e-commerce, line sheet or social use. Layered or transparent-background files can be included when the brief needs them.
Jewellery CGI starts with the materials
Gold needs warmth without turning orange. Platinum needs a cooler density. Diamonds and coloured stones need controlled flashes, internal structure and enough shadow to hold the cut.
I use physically based materials in Blender, then apply the judgement I use in product photography: controlled sculptural light, clean edge reflections and a composition that keeps the piece easy to read.
The goal is not a glossy effect for its own sake. It is a believable image that communicates finish, proportion and craft.
What one jewellery model can produce
Once the model is approved, it can support campaign hero images, consistent e-commerce angles, metal and stone variants, 360 image sequences and later launch updates without rebuilding the piece from scratch.
If movement would explain the design better, I can also develop the same asset into a 3D product animation.
Campaign and launch renders
Hero images with photographic composition and a controlled lighting direction for collection launches, ads and editorial placements.
E-commerce render sets
Consistent front, side, detail and on-model-style views for product pages, marketplaces and digital line sheets.
Metal, stone and colour variants
New finishes, gemstones and approved design options created from the same core model, without organising a separate shoot for every version.
360 views and motion
Turntable image sequences and short animation can be planned from the approved jewellery model when the piece needs to be understood from more than one angle.
3D jewellery rendering for brands and agencies
I work directly with jewellery brands and as a specialist CGI partner for creative agencies. You work with the person modelling the piece, developing its materials and shaping the final light.
If the creative direction is already set, I can build to it closely. If the project needs a visual route, I can help define the composition, environment and level of finish before production begins.
UK jewellery teams often search for 3D jewellery rendering, while international briefs may call it a jewelry rendering service. The work is the same: accurate, flexible product imagery built around the final use.
For a stills-only brief, I deliver the agreed image set. If the campaign also needs motion, the approved model can move into a separate animation scope.
Common questions
What do you need to start?
CAD in STEP, IGES, STL, OBJ or 3DM format is ideal. I can also work from technical drawings, sharp reference photographs and confirmed dimensions. A physical sample is helpful when an unusual finish needs close study.
Can you render diamonds and coloured gemstones?
Yes. I build the stone response around the cut, setting and supplied reference. The final result remains an authored CGI image, with the light shaped to keep both the stone and its setting readable.
How long does a jewellery rendering project take?
Most focused projects take 7 to 15 business days. A full collection is usually staged, and supplied CAD can shorten the modelling stage.
Which files will I receive?
Final TIFF, PNG or JPEG files are supplied at the agreed sizes. Transparent-background or layered files can be included when they are part of the brief. Editable source models are not included unless agreed separately.
What does 3D jewellery rendering cost?
A focused jewellery rendering project commonly falls between £1,500 and £8,000. A broader collection normally starts around £3,500 and is quoted around the number of pieces, views and variants.
Can the same model be animated?
Yes. Once the piece is approved, it can move into a separate animation scope for turntables, reveals or a launch film.
Planning a jewellery collection or launch?
Send the piece, available CAD or reference, the views you need and the launch date. I will come back with a clear scope and production plan.
