CounterSketch Studio

How it Works

1.

While working with customers in your store, start by using prototype jewelry such as pieces from our Bridal Prototype Selling System, and combine with a large digital inventory of Starting Point Models to begin the custom design process.

2.

Then perform real-time 3D changes to the design on screen while the software generates an accurate estimate at any time and creates stunning photo-realistic images of the jewelry.

3.

When ready for manufacture, send the design to the jewelry manufacturing experts at Stuller with your choice of finishing and setting options, all from within the software.

More...

The software sends a CAD file of your design directly to the jewelry experts at Stuller for any amount of finishing you desire from a raw casting, semi-finish, polished, to a fully set piece with stones purchased from our inventory, or send in yours. Stuller’s CAM Services department will contact you with an estimate and turn time, once you have approved the quote, lead time is typically 8-10 working days. This new way of doing business takes the difficulty and cost out of manufacturing so you can focus on designing.

CAD/CAM Systems

A Next-Generation Solution

Megan Cooper
Blue Heron Jewelry
Poulsbo, WA

"Our business has revolved around Leo’s ability to custom design for his clients," says Megan Cooper of Blue Heron Jewelry owner Leo Fried. "And he was looking for a way for all of us salespeople to participate in custom design without being able to draw."

So two years ago, the store invested in a CounterSketch Studio system, after Fried explored the CAD/CAM options available. The shop set up a separate area on the show floor just for the computer.

"I wouldn’t say it has paid for itself yet, but that’s because of our limitations," Cooper says. It’s only recently that the store has been able to invest substantial time and money in training on the system. And that has made a world of difference. Attending a Stuller Bridge conference in late 2012 gave Cooper a much better appreciation for what the software can do and how to use it.

"We needed a guiding hand," she says. "And then I was able to see the possibilities."

The next step will be for Blue Herron Jewelry employees to sit down and familiarize themselves with the machine. That should give Fried the breathing room to step back and think about retirement without risking the customer services at the heart of the business.

"We look forward to making more sales with it," Copper says. "In fact, we made one over the weekend with just a few clicks of the mouse."
