Casting Ready Curl Swirl Pearl Pendant CAD

Description

The casting ready curl swirl pearl pendant CAD model features a continuous asymmetric swirl arm rising to a leaf-tip bail, with an open arc cradle at the base accommodating a 8.5mm pearl. The swirl arm carries a graduated micro pavé border of 28 round diamonds (23 × 1.3mm + 5 × 1.6mm, total 0.259 CT), flowing from the bail down through the lower arc. The single-body geometry — 22.68mm (0.892″) tall × 12.76mm (0.502″) wide × 10.30mm (0.406″) deep — is fully wax-print ready with no interlocking or movable parts.

This jewelry CAD model is production-friendly across multi-metal workflows. The open cradle pearl seat accepts pearl diameter variations without CAD modification, supporting flexible SKU production from a single printable STL file. Suitable for factory batch casting, custom studio production, and CAD marketplace distribution.

Production Analysis

• Casting Readiness: High — single-body continuous swirl form; no assembly, no interlocking components; direct casting from wax print.
• Stone Setting Difficulty: Medium — 28-stone graduated micro pavé path along curved swirl arm; no blind-setting areas; open access along outer arc and bail.
• Polishing Accessibility: Medium — inner arc of pearl cradle requires rotary tool; outer swirl surfaces and bail are fully accessible.
• Mass Production Suitability: High — wax CNC weight 0.32g; printable geometry supports batch production runs efficiently.
• Recommended Metals: 10K / 14K / 18K Gold (YG/WG/RG), Platinum (PLAT/PLAT RU), 925 Silver.

Market Fit Analysis

• US Market Fit: Strong — contemporary feminine swirl silhouette with diamond pavé and pearl center aligns with US fashion and bridal-adjacent pendant demand.
• Etsy Compatibility: High — asymmetric curl design with pearl focal point performs well in Etsy pearl pendant and fine jewelry searches.
• TikTok Jewelry Potential: Medium-High — open swirl silhouette and rotating pearl cradle read well in short-form jewelry video content.
• Pinterest Visual Appeal: High — teardrop-curl swirl with pavé border and pearl center is well-suited for feminine and bridal jewelry boards.
• Commercial Flexibility: Strong — open cradle supports Akoya, freshwater, and South Sea pearl variations; multi-metal weight data enables scalable retail pricing across 10K–Platinum.
