JewelBeetle is 3D jewelry design software for designers, including professionals. Its builders create jewelry components such as gems, bezels, heads, prongs, gallery rails, and ring shanks. The Projects panel stores models alongside related files, including STL files, images, and PDFs. For presentation, the software includes the Bella render engine, materials and finishes, and tools for making turntable animations as MP4 files. A Metal Weights tool calculates an object’s volume and reports common metal weights in pennyweight and grams; it can also estimate a price using current spot prices. JewelBeetle supports Windows 10 and Windows 11, and does not support Mac. A JewelBeetle license requires a Rhino 7 or Rhino 8 license. An internet connection is needed to download installation files and validate the license. Buyers can request a two-week trial; Bella Render trial output displays a watermark. The maker lists email and a user forum as support channels, describing the forum as a place for support, idea sharing, and community building. Purchase options include JewelBeetle 3D Jewelry Design Studio for 4995.00 USD per once, JewelBeetle with Rhino 8 Upgrade for 5545.00 USD per once, and JewelBeetle with Full Rhino 8 for 5845.00 USD per once. Sales tax is excluded from the listed prices.
