Stuller, Gemvision launch latest CounterSketch Studio
The two companies have released CounterSketch Studio Version 5, with a number of additions to help enhance the custom design experience.
New features of CounterSketch Studio Version 5 include a 3-D printer integration that allows jewelers to print resin models so customers may see their custom design in person; the ability to start a custom job by picking out a specific diamond from Stuller’s inventory; and exact pricing for most jobs created in the software.
CounterSketch Studio was launched in 2009 as a creative software program with full 3-D capabilities, giving jewelers the ability to interact with customers to design a piece of jewelry in real time.
For more information about CounterSketch Studio, call Stuller at 800-357-6272 or visit the company’s website.
“Whether a jeweler is altering an existing design or conceptualizing from scratch, this program has everything needed to create a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry,” said Jeff High, president of Gemvision and chief innovation officer for Stuller. “We’ve enhanced the custom design experience to a new level with version 5.”
