I've worked in the jewelry industry for 11 years in Los Angeles. I worked as an Independent contractor for the first three years, setting micro pave and channel-setting square diamonds while training and learning jewelry cleaning and polishing. Within 4 years of my involvement in the jewelry industry, I began jewelry cleaning and solder assembling. Only then did I begin my official training in jewelry 3d modeling, specifically in Solid Works. Because of my experience and training in jewelry, working on 3d modeling for designs and for production of jewelry was a smooth transition. I was then hired as an employee of Bez Ambar Inc as a production manager and head of the CAD team.
