Matrixgold - Gemvision
Gemvision MatrixGold is the premier CAD (Computer-Aided Design) software for professional jewelry designers, combining the precision of Rhino 3D with the intuitive, specialized tools of the Matrix and CounterSketch lineages. As the industry standard, it streamlines the journey from a creative concept to a manufacturing-ready 3D model. What is MatrixGold?
The standout feature is its robust parametric engine. It tracks every design step, allowing you to update dimensions (like ring size or stone diameter) at any point without rebuilding the entire model.

If you only sculpt waxes by hand, use ZBrush. If you only do simple bands, use TinkerCAD. If you need manufacturable, stone-ready, production jewelry , MatrixGold is the industry standard. If you only do simple bands, use TinkerCAD
While Rhino is excellent for free-form modeling, it lacks specific jewelry logic. MatrixGold fills this gap with a suite of "Builders." These are pre-programmed workflows that generate complex jewelry elements with a few clicks.
provides GPU-accelerated, high-quality animations and images for customer previews in seconds. The Learning Curve
MatrixGold is a "smart" jewelry design software built on the powerful Rhinoceros 3D engine. It is specifically engineered to handle the complexities of fine jewelry, such as intricate stone setting, shank profiles, and organic surfacing. Unlike general-purpose CAD programs, MatrixGold provides a library of parametric tools that understand jewelry logic. Key Features and Benefits
