What is the best jewelry CAD software in terms of ease of learning and creating good designs to manufacture?

I am new to jewelry design. And would like to design jewelry with a CAD software which is easy to learn, allows you to draw and modify 3 D designs easily such that a jeweler can manufacture them. Can I learn the tool myself or do I need to take a class? If a class, where can I take it?

    It depends on how complex your designs will be and your budget. A typical full-feature 3D software will range from 3500.00-4500.00 dollars. There are of course many other options that are even free (blender.org), but from experience they aren’t always the most user friendly.

    I would definitely recommend taking professional classes online or at an authorized training center.

    There is a software called Matrix 6 by Gemvision that has many great features and support.
