Cute Crab Oval Gemstone Pendant – 3D Jewelry CAD Model (3DM, OBJ, STL & More) | Printable Design for Casting & Manufacturing
*** All Files Types Include
Product DescriptionAbout the Design
This playful Cute Crab Pendant is a charming, ocean-inspired piece built around a bezel-set oval center gemstone (7.00 x 5.00mm) that forms the crab's rounded body. Two heart-shaped claws sit at the top corners, each finished with a delicate cluster of pavé-set round accent stones, while a pair of round bezel-set gems act as the crab's eyes just beneath the bail. Eight gently curved legs wrap around the base, giving the silhouette its unmistakable, friendly crab character. In total the design carries 9 gemstones (4 x 1.00mm, 2 x 1.20mm, 2 x 1.50mm round accents plus the 7x5mm oval center stone), for a combined approximate weight of 0.72tw. The finished pendant measures 14.00mm wide x 14.50mm tall x 4.00mm deep, with a folded reeded bail (5.00mm x 3.00mm) sized to comfortably fit a standard chain. The design reads beautifully in yellow gold, white gold/silver, and rose gold, and pairs well with classic diamond-white center stones or colored gems such as blue or green for a fun, wearable statement piece suited to charm necklaces, kids' and teens' jewelry lines, or whimsical everyday collections.
About the 3D Modeling
The pendant is modeled natively in professional jewelry CAD software with fully closed, watertight, manifold geometry, making it ready for both digital rendering and physical production without repair work. The file includes a properly proportioned bail, bezel settings sized to the exact gem measurements listed in the accompanying gem report, and clean, evenly distributed surface topology on the legs, claws, and body for smooth shading and accurate wax growth or resin printing. Full technical documentation is included: a gem report detailing stone shapes, sizes, quantities, and total carat weight, along with front, side, and perspective dimension callouts (14.00 x 14.50 x 4.00mm overall) so buyers can verify scale and proportions before production. Reference metal weight calculations are also provided across multiple alloys (9K, 10K, 14K, and 18K white gold, sterling silver, and rose gold) using standard SPG values, giving manufacturers an immediate cost-estimation starting point. The package includes native 3DM files alongside universal OBJ and STL exports, plus other common jewelry and 3D modeling formats, so the design can be opened, edited, rescaled, or re-purposed in most major CAD, sculpting, and slicing programs.
About Manufacturing
This file is production-ready and intended for real-world jewelry manufacturing. It is well suited to lost-wax investment casting via resin 3D printing on DLP/SLA wax-capable printers, as well as direct metal casting workflows used by jewelry manufacturers and casting houses. The bezel settings are dimensioned to standard gemstone sizes, making stone-setting straightforward for round and oval cut diamonds or lab-grown/simulant alternatives, and the even wall thickness throughout the legs and claws has been kept manufacturing-friendly to reduce breakage risk during casting, polishing, and stone setting. The model scales cleanly for use as a pendant, charm, or even a matching earring or ring motif, and is compatible with common CAM/CAM-adjacent workflows used by bench jewelers, mold makers, and 3D print bureaus.
About Sales & Licensing
This CAD file is offered for jewelry designers, manufacturers, casting houses, 3D printing service bureaus, and online jewelry retailers looking to add a ready-to-produce, on-trend crab pendant to their catalog without starting a design from scratch. It is well suited for stock file marketplaces, print-on-demand jewelry platforms, custom jewelry studios, and small-batch or made-to-order production. Buyers can resize, re-gem, or re-finish the piece to match their own branding and metal offerings, and the included documentation (gem report and metal weight table) makes it easy to quote pricing quickly to end customers. As with most stock 3D jewelry files, the license typically covers use in physical product manufacturing and resale of the finished jewelry piece; redistribution or resale of the raw digital CAD/mesh files themselves is generally not permitted unless an extended license is purchased — buyers should confirm specific usage rights with the file's marketplace listing terms at time of purchase.
