Facetra is an AI-powered jewellery design workflow platform for Indian ateliers. It converts hand sketches into photorealistic renders, multi-view technical sheets, live-gold-rate Bill of Materials, and downloadable 3D meshes (GLB/STL/OBJ/FBX). Built for Jadau, Polki, Kundan, Meenakari, Temple and Rajwadi styles.

Does Facetra replace CAD software like Rhino or MatrixGold?

No. Facetra is a workflow layer that produces the reference material (renders, multi-view sheets, BOM, 3D mesh) a CAD operator uses. Your CAD bench continues to use Rhino, MatrixGold or JewelCAD to retopologize the mesh into a cast-ready model.

What jewellery styles does Facetra support?

Traditional Indian styles: Jadau, Polki, Kundan, Meenakari, Temple, Rajwadi. Modern styles: solitaire, halo, cluster, tennis, cocktail. The rendering vocabulary understands craft terms like chaton, bezel, prong, jaali, nakashi and meena work.

What 3D formats does Facetra export?

GLB (default), STL, OBJ, FBX, USDZ, GLTF and 3MF. Two quality tiers: Standard (25 credits, 4K PBR) and HD (35 credits, native 8K PBR).

How much does Facetra cost?

Credit-based pricing. Studio render 1 credit, multi-view sheet 4 credits, CAD-ready 1 credit, 3D mesh 25-35 credits. Credit packs: Starter ₹1,500 for 100 credits (₹15/credit), Studio ₹7,000 for 500 credits (₹14/credit), Atelier ₹15,600 for 1,300 credits (₹12/credit). New signups get 10 free credits.

Is my design confidential on Facetra?

Yes. Every design lives in a private per-user storage bucket. Nothing is public, nothing is shared with other users, nothing is used to train shared AI models.

For South Indian Temple Jewellers

AI Tool for Temple Jewellery Design

Deity motifs, high-relief nakashi, granulation and uncut-ruby accents — Facetra renders South Indian temple jewellery with the sacred iconography and manufacturing precision your karigars require.

Start rendering — 10 free credits How it works

Temple jewellery is defined by iconography — Lakshmi, Ganesh, peacock, elephant, lotus — rendered in high-relief nakashi (repoussé) work with granulation borders, gold-plated silver bodies and uncut ruby or emerald accents. Every design must respect the proportion and posture of the deity or motif, or the piece loses its sacred meaning.

Facetra's temple prompt library preserves iconographic proportion while giving you photorealistic renders, silhouette-locked multi-view sheets, and CAD-ready references. Ateliers in Chennai, Kanchipuram, Madurai and Coimbatore use it to serve bridal Kanjivaram-wearing brides with same-day designs.

What is Temple?

Temple jewellery is a South Indian jewellery tradition — originally crafted for temple deities and later adopted for classical dance and bridal wear — featuring high-relief deity motifs (Lakshmi, Krishna, Ganesh), symbolic animals (peacock, elephant), nakashi repoussé work, granulation, and uncut ruby or emerald accents on gold-plated silver bodies. Signature pieces include the Vanki (armband), Oddiyanam (waist belt), Jhumka (bell earrings), Kaasu Malai (coin necklace) and Chintak.

What Facetra does for South Indian Temple Jewellers

Deity-accurate proportion for Lakshmi, Ganesh, Krishna, peacock, elephant, lotus motifs
High-relief nakashi (repoussé) rendering with correct shadow depth
Granulation borders — the tiny gold-bead texture that defines temple work
Uncut ruby / emerald accent placement following classical iconography
Gold-plated silver body rendering (real temple pieces are silver + 22kt plating)
Multi-view sheet + CAD-ready + BOM + 3D mesh for your CAD bench

The Facetra workflow (six steps, one afternoon)

Upload a paper sketch or a reference photo of the temple piece.
Describe the piece: e.g. "Lakshmi vanki, high-relief nakashi, granulation border, uncut ruby accents, gold-plated silver".
Facetra renders in 40-60 seconds with deity proportion preserved.
Refine: swap Lakshmi for Krishna, deepen the granulation, add emerald drops.
Multi-view + CAD-ready + BOM (silver weight + gold plating + ruby carat + karigar hours).
Export 3D mesh for your CAD bench — retopology in Rhino / MatrixGold.

Frequently asked questions

Does Facetra preserve deity iconography correctly?

The prompt library is tuned to preserve the traditional posture and proportion of Lakshmi, Ganesh, Krishna, Saraswati and Durga motifs. For an unusual regional variant, upload a reference photo and Facetra follows the silhouette.

How does Facetra render granulation?

Granulation (thousands of tiny gold beads fused into border and background texture) is rendered as a physical texture with light interaction, not a decorative overlay. Zoom in on the render and you can count the beads.

Are temple pieces really gold-plated silver, not solid gold?

Traditional South Indian temple pieces use silver bodies with 22kt gold plating (for weight and cost — a solid-gold vanki would weigh 200g+). Facetra renders both and the BOM shows the correct material split.

Can I export a 3D mesh for a temple piece?

Yes. GLB / STL / OBJ / FBX / USDZ / 3MF — same export pipeline as every other Facetra piece. The mesh is a design reference; your CAD operator retopologizes it for casting.
