    We have had very good luck with JewelSmith and Art2Part from Delcam.

    It's much easier to learn than some of the other softwares because
    it's not totally 3 dimensional, but rather 2 1/2 dimensions. You
    start with a two dimension design such as a drawing on paper, then
    use software tools to add depth and textures to the design. We were
    able to make saleable product almost immediately. 

    We chose Jewelsmith after looking at Matrix and some of the other
    Rhino based softwares because JS is pretty easy to get started
    making stuff and is super with relatively flat object like pendants
    and earrings, and especially great with textures and other types of
    surface decoration. We did this gorgeous spinel ring last year (after
    about 9 months experience) Any CAD software will require you to make
    a journey, and will take hard work on your part to succeed, but it is
    a truly great and liberating tool.
