[Tutorial] Jewelry Design in Blender for Beginners - Using Custom Curve Profiles

In this tutorial, I show how to use curve profiles for jewelry modeling in Blender. This is a simple technique that's great for quickly achieving a professional design. This design will be 3D printed and cast in silver in a future video.

I love your tutorial. Good content and great pace.

[@themysteriousfox3767]

Wow, I'm learning things I didn't know about Blender! Thank you!

[@GraceNoteForge]

Glad to hear it! Thank you for watching 😃

[@cdeichhorn]

Josiah you did a great tutorial on making this pendant. Your instructions are very easy to follow and informative. Keep making these high quality videos on jewelry designs. You’re an asset to the jewelry industry and the blender community.

[@CEC_HDZ]

This is amazing. I hope to get as good as you soon, I’m wanting to design some jewelry soon.

[@GraceNoteForge]

Thank you. Keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it in no time! :)

[@BENBASIL]

Thanks for this! I won’t say any names, but every other Blender jewelry making video I have seen is terrible. You do a good job of staying on track, and I also appreciate that you repeat the shortcuts you’re using, it really helps solidify them in my memory.

[@GraceNoteForge]

Thank you! I appreciate it. 😄

[@angelavolkov1126]

Agreed, a lot of other courses don't seem to be grounded in reality.

Your knowledge is very helpfull...thank you very much... Big up from France ... 🤙

[@GraceNoteForge]

Thank you so much! 😁

Great video. Please make more videos on blender jewelry for rings. I am learning blender and I found your teaching style as easy as peter grand I am following him too to learn blender. Thanks again.

[@GraceNoteForge]

Thank you for watching! I definitely plan on making more blender videos about ring design.

[@katarzynalehmann9124]

Great video.

[@GraceNoteForge]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching.

Hey buddy. Amazing video. Can we have a tutorial for the final animation and texture? How you build the surrounding and how you animate the object. I’m really interested in that :)

[@GraceNoteForge]

Thank you! Ill be sure to include that in my next blender tutorial :)

Blender 4 appears to be different than what was there in 2. Can you do an updated version? Mine will not render subdivisional modifier without applying it.

[@Martyktr]

Amazing tutorial🙂 Quick question, at 22:00, after selecting "Object" under "Bevel options", and then Click the object. Nothing happens in my design, as in I can only see the lines.. Would you know why this is?

[@LauraBamber-eh8tb]

this tutorial is great - thankyou. As a complete beginner I can't work out why the shortcuts you use don't work for me. Do you have to set thia up first?

[@themysteriousfox3767]

Is there any particular one you're having issues with? Those should be the default ones, though some of them require other buttons to be pressed or for the numpad to be used rather than number keys.

[@kylan4160]

Hello what is your g short cut ? I can’t seem to edit the circle with it

[@GraceNoteForge]

When I was editing the curve, I changed my select tool to "tweak" instead of "box select". This allows you to just click and drag vertices to move them without having to hit the "G" key first. Hope this helps!

[@lunacat8347]

Hi just did this tutorial and it doesnt say how to make it shiney or how to attatch it onto an necklace and finish it fully? sorry im new and this is the first video ive done

[@jagaj7040]

My scaling is not working like in the video :( i tried unchecking all (Origins; Locations; Parents) and still nothing. Anybody knows what is the problem?

[@TheMob1080]

When trying this, I don't seem to have to "Round-Object-Profile" under the Bezel menu. Am I missing something, I can't seem to find it anywhere?

[@GraceNoteForge]

I think the bevel geometry options are relatively new so if you're running an older version of Blender, that might be why you aren't seeing it.

[@sgm526]

@@GraceNoteForge I am using Blender 2.90.1, so will it work?

[@crystalnior6218]

What do I click to get tweak

[@GraceNoteForge]

In Edit mode, if you click and hold the select tool ("Select Box" is the default) a dropdown will appear. Tweak is the first on the list.
