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.

Jewellery Design Portfolio with Technical Drawing — The Hire-Ready Format

Published 25 February 2026 7 min read

TL;DR

Recruiters and atelier owners hire the designer whose portfolio proves manufacturability, not just artistry. Why every piece in a portfolio should include a multi-view sheet + a technical drawing + a BOM. Template for a 5-piece student thesis and a 20-piece atelier reel.

Two portfolios, two different jobs

A jewellery-design portfolio does one of two things well, rarely both. An artistry portfolio shows hero renders + moodboards + editorial prose — it wins design competitions and gets published in magazines. A hire-ready portfolio shows renders + multi-view sheets + technical drawings + BOMs — it gets you hired at Sabyasachi, Tanishq, Kalyan, Amrapali, Malabar. The difference is manufacturability proof.

Why the technical drawing matters to recruiters

Atelier owners and design managers have seen a thousand pretty renders. What they haven't seen from every candidate is proof that the designer understands the 30cm gap between a beautiful sketch and a piece that casts cleanly. A technical drawing shows: the designer knows which views the CAD bench needs, understands wall thickness for lost-wax, respects stone-setting geometry (prong count, chaton depth, jaali openwork), and can spec materials + stones without hand-holding.

What each portfolio piece should include

Hero render — the piece as the client will see it (photoreal, styled).
Design brief — 2-3 sentences of editorial prose. No BOM data.
Moodboard — 3-6 reference images that show your aesthetic influence.
Rough sketch (optional but strong) — proves you didn't just prompt an AI. Shows your ideation stage.
Multi-view sheet — Front / Side / Top / Back per jewellery type. Silhouette-locked to the hero render.
Technical drawing — dimension callouts on the multi-view. Choose Render mode for a client-friendly sheet, Line drawing for engineering handoff.
Bill of Materials (BOM) — 22kt/18kt gold weight, primary stone, secondary stones, meena zones. This is what proves you understand cost.
Notes — 1-2 lines on any manufacturing constraint you thought about (e.g. "shank kept at 1.8mm to avoid casting fault", "chaton depth 1.2mm to seat 3ct Polki").

Template: 5-piece student thesis

1 Kundan bridal (Rani Haar or choker) — heritage-craft demonstration.
1 Diamond engagement ring — modern-Western demonstration.
1 Temple / heritage piece — craft-tradition depth.
1 Everyday / contemporary piece — commercial sensibility.
1 Experimental piece — creative range.

Every piece ships the full 8-item stack above. Time to build with Facetra: 2-3 days.

Template: 20-piece atelier reel

Bridal collection (6 pieces)
Everyday collection (5 pieces)
Occasion / statement collection (5 pieces)
Signature / show-stopper (2-4 pieces)

Same 8-item stack per piece. Time with Facetra: 4-5 days.
