Lightweight Openwork Sunburst Jewelry Design CAD Model

Description

This lightweight openwork sunburst jewelry design features 10 curved rays drawn as open leaf outlines around a circular stone ring. The cutouts and the round center opening create a lot of negative space and reduce metal density. Two small side loops are modeled for a horizontal chain.

The Cutout Ray Sun Pendant Design places all 21 stone seats on one prong-set ring, so setting stays in a single zone. The rays also read as petals, which makes the model suitable for sun and sunflower listings. One CAD file covers several metal and stone SKUs for factories, Shopify sellers, and Etsy sellers. Files are supplied as 3DM for Rhino edits and STL for wax printing.

FAQ

Q: Are the thin outline rays strong enough for daily wear retail collections?
A: The closed leaf outlines add rigidity compared with free-standing wire. The profile is slim at 1.99 mm, so check wire thickness against your own casting standards before production.

Q: Can the Outline Ray Sunburst Necklace Design use colored gemstones without redesign?
A: Yes. All 21 seats are identical 1.0 mm rounds, so diamond, moissanite, CZ, or colored gemstones in the same size fit one CAD file. Confirm seat tolerance for the material you choose.

Q: Which software opens the 3DM and STL files for this necklace?
A: The 3DM file opens in Rhino. The STL file imports into most CAD tools and wax printing software.
