# 💎 Beginner 3D Jewelry: Model and Render a Gemstone Ring

A focused beginner course that takes you from zero 3D experience to a polished, photorealistic jewelry render in Blender. You set up a precision hard-surface workflow, model a ring, a pendant and a pair of earrings in gold or silver, seat gemstones, then light and render the piece for a portfolio.
