In this tutorial, I walk through how to model a cross pendant in Rhino, focusing on stone and prong arrangement, along with a simple approach to avoid common casting issues.
We will look at how small adjustments in geometry can affect both the structure and the final production result.
This type of workflow is important when designing jewelry that needs to be both visually clean and production-ready.
