Casting Ready Layered Petal Sunflower Pendant CAD Model

Description

This casting ready layered petal sunflower pendant CAD model has a round sunburst silhouette, a stepped rim and a domed center with concentric pavé rings. The petal ring uses curled pointed tips, and side loops carry the chain. It is built as a Rhino sunflower pendant necklace model, 27.72 mm (1.09″) wide with a low 4.92 mm (0.19″) profile.

The perforated seat plate and thin petal blades keep metal density low, and the open petal ring suits printable wax workflows. The design fits fine jewelry floral collections for Etsy, Shopify and factory-made retail lines, with metal and stone variants from one production ready file.

Production Analysis

• Casting Readiness: Ready with checks. Confirm wall thickness at petal tips and side loop junctions before mass production.
• Stone Setting Difficulty: High. 90 round stones at 1.6 mm sit in micro-prong pavé on a curved dome surface.
• Polishing Accessibility: Medium. Recesses between overlapping petals need targeted finishing.
• Mass Production Suitability: Medium-High once the setting workflow is fixed. Wax printing is more practical than CNC because of petal undercuts.
• Recommended Metals: 10K Gold (YG/WG/RG), 14K Gold (YG/WG/RG), 18K Gold (YG/WG/RG), Platinum (PLAT/PLAT RU), 925 Silver

Market Fit Analysis

• US Market Fit: Strong. Sunflower is a familiar floral motif with seasonal demand.
• Etsy Compatibility: Good for floral pendant and custom jewelry categories.
• TikTok Jewelry Potential: Moderate. Pavé sparkle works well in close-up video.
• Pinterest Visual Appeal: Good. The round sunburst silhouette is recognizable at thumbnail size.
• Commercial Flexibility: Metal and stone variants (diamond, moissanite, CZ) support SKU expansion.

FAQ

Q: Is the layered petal structure safe to cast and print without redesign?
A: The overlapping petal ring casts and prints as one connected form. Petal tips are thin, so confirm wall thickness with your foundry before a production run.

Q: Does the sunflower pendant 3DM file open in Rhino for stone or metal edits?
A: Yes. The 3DM file is the native Rhino model, and the STL file is included for wax printing and slicing workflows.

Q: Can the 90 round stones be swapped for moissanite or CZ without changing the model?
A: Yes. The 1.6 mm round seat layout stays the same, so material variants come from one CAD file. Check seat depth against your chosen stone supplier.
