Advanced Basket: Complete Control Over Every Prong

No two basket settings are exactly alike.

The perfect setting depends on the gemstone, the design style, and the level of detail the jeweler wants to achieve. While presets are useful as a starting point, custom jewelry often demands something more flexible.

That’s why RhinoArtisan 7.0 introduces Advanced Basket, a new feature that gives designers complete control over every element of a basket setting while keeping the entire model fully parametric. 

Design One Prong. Build the Entire Setting.

Advanced Basket starts with a simple idea.

Instead of choosing from a fixed collection of predefined settings, designers begin with a single prong and define exactly how it should look.

From there, every detail can be customized, including:

• Prong position
• Prong tip style
• Thickness and proportions
• Overall placement around the gemstone

Whether you prefer classic rounded prongs, elegant claw tips, or more decorative double and triple prongs, the choice is entirely yours.

Smart Tools for Faster Workflows

Once the first prong is finished, RhinoArtisan takes care of the repetitive work.

Using duplication and symmetry tools, the remaining prongs can be generated automatically while maintaining perfect consistency.

Need to make a change?

Instead of editing every prong individually, you simply update one, and the rest follow automatically.

The result is a cleaner workflow that allows designers to spend more time refining the design rather than rebuilding geometry.

Complete the Basket Your Way

A basket is much more than its prongs.

Advanced Basket also allows designers to add as many support rails as the design requires, creating the right balance between strength, elegance, and stone visibility.

Whether you’re designing a delicate solitaire or a more elaborate engagement ring, every structural element remains editable throughout the project.

This flexibility makes it easy to explore different design directions without starting over.

Built Around Parametric Design

Like many of the new tools in RhinoArtisan 7.0, Advanced Basket is fully parametric.

You can begin with a preset, customize every component, and continue refining the setting as the design evolves.

Nothing is fixed.

Every parameter remains available, making it easier to respond to customer requests, compare different styles, or adapt the setting to another gemstone.

A Better Way to Design Stone Settings

Basket settings have always required a balance between aesthetics and engineering.

Advanced Basket brings both together in a workflow that is flexible, intuitive, and built specifically for jewelry designers.

Whether you’re creating a classic solitaire or developing a completely new setting style, RhinoArtisan 7.0 gives you the freedom to build exactly the basket your design deserves.
