GEOMETRICAL MODELING OF 3D PATTERNS FOR TRADITIONAL INDIAN KUNDAN JEWELRY

Abstract

India is famous for its art and culture, which can be found in traditional handicrafts, carvings, potteries, as well as in Jewelry. The traditional Jewelry of India is what makes the Indian Jewelry so rich and unique in their manner. India has a rich tradition of gold ornamental designs and there are a number of styles of ornamentmaking in practice, each with its uniqueness, special forms and style. Our work is based on semantics; 3D patterns are created on the bases of parametric representation. This work aims to associate advantages unfolded by Computer Aided Design (CAD) technology in developing traditional design patterns for Jewelry design andmanufacturing. The work also presents three dimensional (3D) semantics used in Traditional Indian Kundan Jewelry with the help of mathematical modeling; to generate the traditional patterns.The goal will be achieved by devising mathematical models for various 3D semantics, for the modeling of Traditional Indian Kundan jewelry (TIKJ). Jewelry Add-In is developed for inventor using c++. Aim of this Jewelry add-in is to develop pattern of 3D geometrical shapes on 3D surface and for communication between Jewelry Add-In and Inventor.
