Diamond Bee Pendant – 3D CAD Model for Jewelry Manufacturing
*** All Files Types Include
Description
Design OverviewThis 3D jewelry design presents a finely detailed bee-inspired insect pendant, featuring a symmetrical pair of outstretched wings, delicate curved antennae, and six articulated legs that wrap gracefully around a ribbed, fluted thorax and abdomen. At the center of the piece sits a round brilliant-cut diamond, prong-set with four decorative ball-tip prongs that double as the bee's mid-body detailing. The textured, hand-carved-look striping on the head and abdomen adds realistic dimension and catches light beautifully from every angle, while the integrated bail loop is sized to accommodate a standard cable or chain-link necklace. The pendant measures approximately 13.00mm in width, 12.00mm in height, and 4.00mm in depth, making it a delicate, wearable charm suitable for everyday jewelry lines, nature-themed collections, or custom insect and animal pendant series.
3D Modeling DetailsThe file was modeled using professional jewelry CAD software with clean, manufacturing-ready topology and closed, watertight surfaces suitable for direct 3D printing or CNC milling. The design includes an accurately seated round diamond (approximately 2.40 x 2.40mm, 0.05 total carat weight) with correctly calculated prong depth and girdle clearance for realistic stone-setting simulation. Gem and metal weight reports are included, showing calculated gram weights across a range of common alloys, including 9K, 10K, 14K, and 18K white gold, rose gold, and sterling silver, giving buyers immediate insight into production cost and material planning. The model is delivered in multiple industry-standard formats, including 3DM, STL, and OBJ, ensuring compatibility with the most widely used jewelry design and rendering software.
Manufacturing SuitabilityThis CAD file is fully prepared for real-world jewelry production. It is compatible with wax 3D printing (SLA/DLP resin printers) for lost-wax casting, as well as direct metal 3D printing processes. The clean, error-free mesh ensures smooth slicing and printing with minimal supports needed for the wing and leg details, and the model has been checked for wall thickness and structural integrity to reduce breakage risk during casting, polishing, and stone-setting. It is equally suitable for small-batch handcrafted production or larger-scale manufacturing runs, and can be rendered in yellow gold, white gold, rose gold, or silver finishes as shown in the reference renders.
Sales and Licensing UseThis file is ideal for jewelry designers, manufacturers, 3D printing services, and online jewelry marketplaces looking to expand their catalog with a unique, nature-inspired pendant design. It is well suited for resale as a downloadable CAD file on 3D model marketplaces, for use in custom jewelry quoting tools, or as a base design for further customization (metal type, stone size, or finish variations). The included photorealistic studio renders make it easy to showcase the piece in online listings, portfolios, or client presentations without additional rendering work.
