Join the authors Akiyo Matsuoka, Atsuo Nakajima, and Eva Tucek for an intro to their new book, The Essential Guide to Digital Jewelry Design, and open dialogue with them.
The Essential Guide to Digital Jewelry Design is a bilingual exercise book, in Japanese and English, that introduces the world of CAD Jewelry Design using Rhino —the most versatile 3D modeling program—and the Grasshopper plugin which is integrated into the newest versions of Rhino. With the help of Grasshopper algorithms, you can create modeling procedures easily, enable simulations, modify, iterate and find better results by manipulating parameters.
The book helps you understand how to recreate your jewelry designs on the computer using these latest computational design techniques, teaching tips and tricks to achieve specific results, and generally maximize your workflow and possibilities. Learn to build both simple and complex designs, and use the tips to extend your knowledge base for more advanced 3D Jewelry modeling.

Eva Tucek is a jewelry designer and teacher living in Paris, France. She consults designers on producing their collections and works with the family studio in Vienna and their factory in Bangkok to manufacture collections and bespoke pieces for both retailers and private collectors. Her jewelry training was an informal one, growing up in South Africa and spending a lot of time in the workshop of her mother, who is an accomplished goldsmith, playing with metal and precious stones. She learned to make little pieces for friends and family at an early age. More frequently now, she focuses on jewelry rendering and architectural projects.
