Who am I?

Hi, I’m Jack Meyer. I’m a jewellery CAD/CAM specialist and educator currently based in London. I have worked in both the USA as well as the UK. Before moving into jewellery I was a 3D modeller and computer graphics engineer, creating real-time models and visuals for military flight simulators.

Since 2006, I’ve been teaching people how to use all major jewellery CAD programs (and several minor ones). I’ve taught both online and in classrooms, offering developer-certified training and private lessons. During that time, I also ran a jewellery design and manufacturing business in Hatton Garden, managed design teams, and even started my own custom jewellery design label.

Over the years, I’ve helped individuals and companies improve their work with better design tools, smarter production methods, and stronger business skills. Today, I continue to offer jewellery CAD training in a wide range of jewellery CAD programs.

Why CAD Jewellery Design Skills?

The CAD Jewellery Skills blog was started in 2010 as a FAQ page to answer common questions about jewellery design and manufacturing using CAD (Computer-Aided Design). It quickly became clear that not many people were offering neutral advice about jewellery CAD software—most jewellery CAD trainers were either selling software or only knew one or two programs.

That’s why I decided to try something different with this site. I knew every jewellery CAD program had a different design philosophy. By matching students and companies to the programs which best fit their own styles of working, I could help them find the best match for their business needs in the long term.

By doing this, I also found the software companies were happier as the customers I trained for them became more loyal customers as they became more skilled with the software.

What are your qualifications?

Jack Meyer's Jewellery CAD training Certifications and jewellery trade organisation memberships

I am a certified trainer in every major 2D and 3D CAD program used for jewellery, as well as several minor ones. This includes several programs which still have user bases but are discontinued (such as Matrix 9 and ArtCAM).

In addition, I’ve had good working relationships with many major UK jewellery trade organisations. I am a Freeman of the Goldsmiths Company, a Fellow of the IPG, and a member of the NAJ.

 

Can you share any examples of your work?

Besides the jewellery CAD book I wrote not too long ago, you can also see my work in several other places:
