Jewellery design-only commissions
Commission a jewellery design without committing to its manufacture. Define the previews, revision allowance, file formats and intended use before the work begins.
A design-only jewellery commission separates design work from manufacture. Agree previews, revision scope, file handover and intended use; Rhino-specific modelling is described on its own service page. Rhino jewellery CAD service · CAD support for businesses

FROM THE BRIEF TO THE NEXT STEP
How the commission works
01
Your intended use
Tell us whether this is a private commission or a business project. Describe the piece and, if selected, the receiving manufacturer’s requirements.
02
Dimensions and references
Agree ring sizes, stone dimensions, materials and the relevant design constraints. Confirm that any supplied references may be used for the assignment.
03
Deliverables and fee
Set the number of designs and previews, revision allowance, file formats and ownership or usage terms. Complex settings and sculptural work need a scope suited to their requirements.
04
Develop and review
Review the proposed CAD and preview views against the brief. Suitable variants can use reviewed parametric tools; generated output still needs human design checks.
05
Approve and check
Approve the design version. Complete the agreed dimensional and geometry checks; the receiving manufacturer separately assesses fitness for its process.
06
Receive the files
Handover covers the agreed source/export files and specification notes. Manufacture, stones, metal, shipping and later revisions are included only when expressly contracted.
What to share
- Private or business use
- Type of piece and design references
- Known dimensions and materials
- Required file formats, if known
- Budget, target date and receiving maker
You do not need every detail to start the conversation.
Before you commit
Agree the scope, deliverables, revisions, price and timing in writing. A design preview, specification approval and authorization to manufacture are separate steps.
A few useful answers
Is there a fixed $100 fee for every design?
The design fee is confirmed after the brief and complexity are reviewed. Request a simple-design quotation; included previews, files and revisions will be stated explicitly.
Does the design fee include manufacture?
Only if the accepted quotation explicitly includes it. A design-only assignment does not include a finished piece.
Can another maker manufacture the file?
Agree its formats and tolerances first. The receiving maker must accept the file and manufacturing specification.
Can I request further revisions?
Additional changes follow the agreed revision terms and may need a separate quote.
Let’s discuss the next step.
A short brief is enough to begin the assessment. Specifications, feasibility, price and timing are confirmed for your individual request.
Choose the handover you actually need
Design-only work can end at different points, so name the purpose of the delivery rather than asking only for a design. You may need images for a decision, an editable source for agreed future work or an export for a selected maker to assess. Their inclusion, rights and revision terms must be stated in the quotation. If another manufacturer is involved, establish its requirements before the handover is defined. This avoids assuming that presentation images are editable models or that a file delivery includes acceptance for a particular production process.
- Decision: which previews support your approval?
- Continuation: is editable source included and on what terms?
- Recipient: which formats and versions does the maker accept?
- Boundary: what checks or adaptations remain outside the design fee?
