Who We Are
All About Jewellery CAD/CAM and other Technologies
Founded in 2010, this blog was established to help educate jewellers of all levels on all the various emergent technologies which affect how jewellery is designed, made, and sold.
In addition to information and training on Jewellery CAD and 3D printing, you can also find learning resources, discuss trends, and offer independent advisory.
CAD Software Advisory
Which jewellery CAD software is best for you?
CADJewellerySkills is one of the only Jewellery CAD software training providers anywhere who is developer certified to provide training in all major jewellery CAD/CAM software packages (and a few minor ones).
Since I teach all of them but sell none of them, I am uniquely equipped to advise you on the best jewellery CAD software for you.

Meet Your CAD Instructor, Jack Meyer
Learn from one of the longest-serving Jewellery CAD tutors in the UK
I have been delivering jewellery CAD training in London’s jewellery quarter Hatton Garden since 2006, and in that time more than 900 students have passed through my classes.
Between my years of experience and the unique perspective I’ve developed from teaching many different programs, I have developed my own unique and better approaches to training.
