Dense Pavé Dragonfly Pendant CAD Model | 3DM, STL File

Description

This dense pavé dragonfly pendant sits in a large round medallion with a wavy scalloped edge. Four marquise-shaped wings and a long curved ribbon body form the asymmetric center, surrounded by radial fern-branch openwork. Continuous stone lines on the frame and body keep the outline clear at thumbnail size.

The model works as a diamond pendant in white gold with rose gold branches, or as a Yellow Gold Green Stone Dragonfly Pendant with the same geometry. A single-piece structure with no moving parts supports scalable production, though the 158-stone layout makes setting labor the main cost to plan for.

Dense Pavé Dragonfly Pendant Production Analysis

• Casting Readiness: Suitable for lost-wax casting. Check fill on the thin fern branch tips and the ribbon body crossover.
• Stone Setting Difficulty: High. 158 round stones in eight size groups, with small stones packed closely on the wings and body.
• Polishing Accessibility: Medium-High difficulty. Stone-covered surfaces and branch openwork limit tool access.
• Mass Production Suitability: Moderate. Single-piece medallion with no assembly, but setting labor drives production cost.
• 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. Dragonfly and nature-inspired statement pendants are established fashion categories.
• Etsy Compatibility: Strong for white/rose gold diamond and yellow/rose gold green-stone variants.
• TikTok Jewelry Potential: Strong. Dense stone sparkle and openwork read well in close-up video.
• Pinterest Visual Appeal: Strong. The large scalloped silhouette and contrasting fern branches are easy to recognize at thumbnail size.
• Commercial Flexibility: One model supports diamond and colored-stone lines, two-tone gold, silver, and platinum, and can be paired with a chain for necklace listings.

FAQ

Q: Can this model be sold as a Green Gemstone Dragonfly Necklace without redesign?
A: Yes. The stone seats are the same for any round stone of matching size, and the pendant has integrated chain bails, so a chain can be added directly. Confirm tolerance for the chosen stone before production.

Q: Is the thin fern openwork stable enough for casting in production runs?
A: The branches connect to the scalloped frame and the central ribbon body, which gives the openwork support points. Review fill on the finest tips during wax and casting tests.

Q: How should setting labor be planned for the 158-stone layout?
A: The 96 frame stones at 1.0 mm are regular and faster to set. Plan extra time for the 0.7 mm to 0.9 mm stones on the wings and body, where spacing is tight.
