The shift caused by the advent of artificial intelligence in collaborative jewelry design has marked a significant before and after in the design world. As we all know, it possesses characteristics and potential that were once impossible to attain. The ability to generate designs is limitless, making it one of the most significant technological contributions to the jewelry design business in the last 100 years. It is a great opportunity and challenge that should be taken very seriously, and while this technology is still in its early stages, it promises a much broader future than we can imagine.
Just a few years ago, when a manufacturer, jeweler, or company wanted to create a collection, they often needed assistance from skilled artists or jewelers who worked with techniques like pencil or Gouache painting (the term was first used in France to describe a type of paint made from watercolor opaque in the eighteenth century. Today, gouache – the term is used to describe any drawing made with opaque watercolors. Gouache – is the art of painting in opaque watercolor and has a particularly important role within the jewelry industry). Ideas for a jewelry collection.
Today, artificial intelligence, with a bit of training, offers enormous potential to provide the customer with an unlimited number of designs in different styles in just a few hours. This brings about a radical change in the approach and type of service offered, making it more technified, professional, and cost-effective than ever.
Whenever new technologies emerge, reluctance and fear are common reactions, but we believe that, like any evolution, it is not only necessary but also beneficial, although adapting is a challenge for every professional.
Let’s consider a practical example: imagine a jewelry company interested in animal-themed jewelry designs asking us to create horse pendants. Just a few years ago, this would have required more effort from the client to explain or show us the desired approach to their animal collection. Just commissioning different design ideas from a professional designer would have incurred a significant cost.
Today, thanks to the assistance of artificial intelligence, we can offer a large number of realistic photos in a short period, optimizing the client’s time. Having created numerous different designs for clients worldwide over the years, we understand the immense variety of styles, shapes, and approaches to the same design, such as this horse pendant.
To start, considerations such as the horse breed, the desired perspective, the choice of materials (whether it’s only metal or includes stones), and various other details that would have taken a long conversation with the potential client. While this should never be overlooked because more information means less working time and, consequently, better costs, this technology allows us to showcase a vast variety with much less effort. The following examples in the photographs are a significant advancement and contribution to this new world of jewelry design. While it still requires the artisanal knowledge of manufacturing, it provides a much broader spectrum, sometimes interpreting designs through artificial intelligence.
We, at 3dcustomjewel.com, are excited about this new professional field, and we believe that the effort required to incorporate it will be beneficial for everyone, creating new and better offerings for the discerning consumers of exclusive jewelry.
