    Hi Jason, Rhino (Rhinoceros) is an excellent affordable CAD modeling
    program for jewelry design. It scales and proportions in 3D, 2D or 1D
    , depending on what you need to do, enabling you to vary rings sizes
    or setting dimension with a few clicks of the mouse. Left and right
    earring models can be mirrored with perfect symmetry just as easily.
    It measures distance, length, angles, and radius and can calibrate
    dimension and place a numerical text with arrows next to a model for
    horizontal/ vertical measurement and alignment references. 

    There's also a "plugin" to Rhino called Matrix. It transforms Rhino
    into an extremely powerful jewelry modeling program. It takes
    practically all the sweat out of CAD design. Matrix has "builders" in
    it for ring shanks, bezels, heads, pave work, channel setting,
    rendering, and much more.  It will determine the weight of a piece (in
    any precious metal)  before it is made!  It's very, very jeweler
    friendly. It has a library of parts that can be modified in shape,
    size and scale, to create just about anything you can imagine, or you
    can make your own parts and save them in a library for future
    projects. I'm offering Rhino training here in the Connecticut area,
    one-on-one or in classes of 2 or more students. The interest in this
    knowledge has really been growing. Recently, I've been teaching just
    about every week. We also have Rhino and Matrix available for
    purchase. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to give me a
    shout.
