R3 Jewel Academy teaches three distinct pathways: Manual sketching for foundations, Procreate for digital illustration, and MatrixGold CAD for technical manufacturing. All courses are live online with weekly assignments, mentor feedback, and portfolio outcomes.
Each course has a different focus, duration, and required tools. Compare outcomes to decide which aligns with your goals.
Foundation
Build the essential foundation of jewellery creation. Learn precision pencil sketching, professional gouache rendering, and how to draft technically accurate orthographic views.
Digital Illustration
Transition your concepts into the digital space. Master Procreate on the iPad to rapidly illustrate photorealistic diamonds, gemstones, and colored metals.
Technical CAD
Master parametric 3D modeling using industry-standard MatrixGold. Translate 2D concepts into exact, printable 3D files ready for casting and manufacturing.
Our approach emphasizes live instruction, weekly assignments, and portfolio milestones over passive video watching.
R3 students have won Student Designer of the Year at India's National Jewellery Awards in 2022 and 2023, competing against entries from all design schools nationwide.
Training processes, curriculum structure, and portfolio assessment follow documented quality management standards audited by external certifiers.
No pre-recorded lectures. Instructors demonstrate techniques in real time, answer questions on the spot, and review your work during class hours. Sessions are recorded for later review.
Each module requires completed design work. You submit assignments weekly, receive individual feedback, and compile approved pieces into a final portfolio required for graduation.
We schedule dedicated batches for UAE, Singapore, UK, and USA students. Classes run at local evening or morning hours, not middle of the night.
We don't use stock images. Every rendering, sketch, and 3D model below was created by an R3 student during their training.
R3 students have competed successfully at national-level design competitions, verifying that our training translates to real-world skill.
A major milestone proving our students compete on the highest national stage.
