Is 1 mm thickness sufficient for these Ring Details, or should I make them thicker?

Hi everyone,

I am designing a ring intended for casting in silver or gold. The attached images show the ring from the front, top, and side view.

The Ring Head Knot shape is 1 mm thick (from top view)

And the height of the knot varies, with a maximum 2.2 mm and minim 1.6

The band is 2 mm wide with thickness 1.6 mm

 

Before finalizing the design, I would appreciate feedback from people with experience in jewelry CAD, casting, and production:

Are there any areas that look likely to bend, break, or fail during casting?

Would you recommend increasing the thickness, and if so, to what minimum value?

Are there any other manufacturability concerns that stand out?

How annoying would this be to model in CAD?

I generated this concept with for a vampire teeth style ring and I'm curious how CAD designers would approach it.

The front looks simple at first, but with the irregular tooth shapes, spacing, inner comfort fit, and symmetry seem like they could get tricky fast.

For jewelry CAD people:

Would this be a pretty straightforward sculpt/modeling job, or one of those concepts that looks easy but becomes annoying once you have to make it wearable and castable?

Also curious what you’d change to make it production-ready.

How do experienced CAD jewelry designers find freelance clients in 2026?

I've been working as a CAD jewelry designer for 12+ years and have experience working with international clients. Most of my work has come through referrals and existing connections, but I'm looking to expand my freelance client base.

Flow along a surface help

Hi everyone. I’m recreating the belt buckle (image on the right) I’m trying to get the 3 flower like designs to flow along the buckle but I’m not quite sure how to do it. I tried flow along surface but it’s a bit messy. Is there any other way I can do it? Also if you’ve made a belt buckle before on CAD I would appreciate any tips. Thanks!

Belt buckle help

Hi everyone. When it comes to the prong that’s goes inside the belt holes, should I make it curved like in the second picture or should I leave it flat and let the bench jeweller bend it and “wrap it around the the bar in the buckle? Thanks
