Ten Courses · Live Online · Manual to CAD
Ten courses. Every fee is printed on the card and again in the payment table further down, so you can work out what this will cost you without filling in a form first.
What the prices cannot tell you is which course to take. That answer sits below the table, along with the reason we usually talk people out of the one they ask for first.
The foundation course, and the one we recommend most often. Includes a jewellery designing kit worth ₹3,000. If you are in Kolkata and would rather sit in a classroom, the same course runs in person as manual jewellery designing in Kolkata.
Turning a drawing into a file a manufacturer can use: real ring sizes, prong heights, stone seats, wall thickness that survives casting, exported for 3D printing. This is the package most Indian production houses hire for.
Sits on top of Rhino: gem map, baguette builder, taper channel, micro cutter prong, readymade collets, and the settings you will be asked for by name, including flush, cluster and illusion. Rhino teaches you to model a piece. Matrix teaches you to model forty versions of it without starting again. Take it after Rhino, not instead of it.
For people who already draw and want to push further.
Sculpted work: temple jewellery, antique relief, idols.
Showing a client the finished piece before it exists. This is what closes a bridal commission.
Drawing digitally on an iPad. You get 700 customised brushes, and you are taught to build your own, which matters more, because a brush somebody else made only covers what they thought of.
Identifying and grading stones. Useful the moment you start buying rather than only designing.
Metal weight, wastage, making charges, stone pricing, and how to quote so the margin survives contact with the customer. The course people wish they had taken before their first freelance job.
Making pieces by hand rather than designing them for someone else to make. Worth taking alongside manual designing if you want to work at the bench yourself.
Manual with CAD over six months, Matrix with Rhino over six months, and the Solitaire package over 9.5 months.
Most enquiries are about CAD. We generally suggest manual designing first, and the reason is practical.
Someone who has never drawn a setting by hand will build models that look correct on screen and then fail at the bench. Prongs too thin to survive setting. A gallery so tight the polisher cannot pass a thread through it. A shank that cracks where it meets the solder joint. The file goes to the caster, comes back wrong, and nobody can say exactly why. Drawing is where you find out what metal and stone will actually put up with.
After that, software is largely a matter of learning where the buttons are. It does not work in the other direction.
The manual syllabus follows that order. Phase one is observation, inspiration and source, then stone shapes, facets, pencil shading, reflection of shadow, colour and 3D colour shading, gold textures and motifs. Phase two brings in rings, earrings and pendants, which is where the jhumka, the chandbali and the cocktail ring appear. Phase three is bangles and necklaces, through churi, kangan and kadha up to polki and chokar.
Take manual designing. Someone who draws well and knows no CAD can find work and pick up the software on the job. The reverse is much harder to undo.
If you already draw, whether from art school, a family workshop or years of sketching, start at Rhino instead and skip ahead. And if you have a particular job in mind, read the posting backwards. Production houses ask for Rhino and Matrix. Design studios ask to see a portfolio. Export houses increasingly want rendering.
Classes are live, three a week, capped at five students, and every session is recorded, so a missed class is not a problem. Five students is the whole model: the mentor can see your sheet, correct your hand, and notice when you have gone quiet. None of that survives a batch of thirty.
The academy is run by Rayala Rahul Rao, a GIA Graduate Gemologist and Diamond Graduate with thirteen years in the trade. CAD is headed by Naina Gupta, who has spent more than ten years between teaching and live client work. Sourav Paul came to us from nine years in jewellery manufacturing rather than from a classroom, and it shows in what he corrects. Neelam D. Ghosh handles CAD training. Manual design is taught by Suparna Pattanayak Maity, who joined here as a student. Dalia Shown, who most people speak to first, has been counselling students here for four years.
Across the academy that adds up to more than 5,000 former students and 17 national awards.
“I have joined R3 with lots of apprehensions as I am very new to this domain. Looking back, it’s been a great learning… He is a perfectionist and tries to bring out the best potential from each of us.”
Archana Yellamraju, who went on to win Student of the Year at the National Jewellery Awards. She had no jewellery background when she enrolled, and trained entirely online.“I never thought that I will be able to impress everyone with my design. I would like to thank my institute and faculties who has encouraged me to work hard and finally my hard work paid off.”
Neelam Kumawat, on being selected in the national top five.“With no idea I found R3 jewellery course online… our trainer Debolika mam gives strict attention to each one of us.”
Raheela BegumNo, and most people do not have one. This is the question we are asked most, and the answer has not changed in thirteen years: what the work needs is creativity and a willingness to practise. Manual designing starts at basic shapes and stone facets and assumes you have never drawn jewellery in your life. Several of our award winners had no design training at all before they enrolled.
Between ₹9,500 and ₹31,200, with 18% GST added on top. Budgeting is the cheapest, ZBrush the most expensive single course, and Solitaire the largest package. EMI is available for students paying by credit card, and every course above has its own payment link.
Between 2.5 and 3.5 months for a single course, six months for a combo, and 9.5 months for Solitaire. Classes run three times a week. Every one is recorded and the recording stays yours, so a missed session can be caught up.
Designer or CAD designer in a production house, freelance in either, or work as a jewellery consultant, retailer, manufacturer, blogger or lecturer. There is a certificate at the end of every course, plus placement and freelancing help. What an employer actually looks at is the portfolio, which is why each course finishes in project work rather than a written exam. You can see what that work looks like in the student gallery.
