| Custom designed jewelry came into existence as | | | | assembling procedure includes the setting of |

| introduction of computer technology, and along | | | | follow this process to give shape to the design. |
| with a technique called Computer Aided Design, | | | | In the CAD jewelry process, many of these |
| custom designed jewelry has a new standard or | | | | steps are forgone because the software allows |

| Manufacturing, designs that were not even | | | | even made. With the help of computer |

| Are you familiar with the process of making | | | | Now lets have some discussion on Computer |
| custom designed jewelry? This process is called | | | | Aided Design and it's usages when making custom |

| After that, the replica or the model is poured in a | | | | After making these drawings, they are fed into |
