Christmas Tree Pendant

Model a festive gem-set pendant that packs nearly every setting technique into one piece. From the reference curves you’ll build a Network Surface body, carve four gem channels with precise offsets and Push and Pull, and fill them with 1.30 mm stones using Gems on Curve — channel setting, prongs and cutters included.

Then the tree gets decorated: a trillion in a heart-shaped basket, a round bezel, decorative modules arrayed along curves, two zones of pavé with hand-tuned rows, and a star topper with its own gem. An O-ring, a bail and a final round of boolean differences leave every stone seat cut and the pendant ready to render. Follow the step-by-step lessons at your own pace, then watch the video lesson at the end to see the whole build in one sitting. The starting curves are in the Downloads section below.
