    I have been involved in CAD/CAM for fine jewelry going on 15 years
    providing nearly 15,000 master patterns and custom "one up's" over
    that period of time. The variety of designs I have seen is astounding
    and many styles do not look like "CNC" jewelry at all. I think that
    there are obvious levels of proficiency in CAD that can be achieved.
    There are in fact many examples of fine jewelry and art that could
    not be created otherwise. 

    Example www.bathsheba.com 

    Like it or not production printing of jewelry is exploding now and
    will continue to be refined as the technology becomes more cost
    effective. 3D printing ( RP )of models in lieu of subtractive CNC
    will lead the way by allowing fewer constraints and greater design
    freedom.
