Trove is democratizing the design of jewelry and RealityServer is providing imagery to make it happen. Trove is an online platform for discovering, sharing and customizing 3D printed jewelry designs. Their website (www.troveup.com<\/a>) enables clients to design, visualize and create beautiful pieces of jewelry from their smartphone or tablet without the need for any special tools or training and, importantly, encourages them both to share and to be inspired by the designs of others in the Trove community. All this is enabled by the innovative application of new technologies throughout the creation process.<\/p>\n

Based in New York City, Trove was founded late 2014 to bring the possibilities of 3D printing to a wider audience. Trove\u2019s founders knew that people were becoming increasingly aware of new digital fabrication technologies, but realized widespread adoption of 3D printing was being held back by the lack of relevance of the technology to people\u2019s everyday lives. The challenge was to create a platform that makes jewelry design relevant, accessible and easy to use, in order to inspire and enable everyone to design the jewelry they want.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

To make the process of online design relevant, visitors to Trove\u2019s website immediately find themselves part of a design community. Popular template designs are provided and users can see immediately how others have used Trove\u2019s intuitive interface to restyle and personalize their chosen rings and bracelets. Trove\u2019s \u201cdesign feed\u201d provides a constant stream of inspiration and ideas as individuals complete their designs and these are added to the collection.<\/p>\n

Once inspired, clients can use Trove\u2019s unique, digital jeweler\u2019s bench first to select elements of their chosen piece, then adjust dimensions, radii and even the material it will be made from while the price is constantly updated to reflect these changes. Trove puts this workbench right in their customers\u2019 pockets by making it available on mobile browsers and the system has been carefully designed for simplicity and ease of use.<\/p>\n

Of course, key to any design process is the visual feedback essential to stimulate creativity. And since the higher an item\u2019s value, the more convinced a customer needs to be before they will buy, visual feedback is also critical to sales conversions. Moving the purchase process from the physical world of shops to the virtual world of eCommerce brings many advantages, but on-line retailers need to pay particular attention to the quality of this interaction if they are to convert browsing into sales. This is particularly true for jewelry, where appearance and design are everything.<\/p>\n

Making precious metals look precious<\/h3>\n

\"render-fd8d2a7f-63da-4f5c-9f0a-3bd6d382adba-93027F8-camera1-card\"Trove addresses this \u201cneed to be sure\u201d in several ways. Personalizing pieces that have been selected from the Trove community forges an intimate connection between customer and design; Trove\u2019s unique \u201cpre-view model\u201d service ensures rings will fit perfectly when they arrive; and perhaps most important of all, superb visual feedback is provided instantly by stunning, photorealistic rendering generated with Realityserver. As Trove\u2019s CEO, Brian Park, says, \u201cPrecious metals must look realistic and RealityServer\u2019s ability accurately to capture the interplay of light on surface textures helps our customers see how their design is going to look before they place the order.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"render-54d10530-2124-4d6a-918c-2217fb804e5d-5E45D8A-camera4-card\"Trove has reinvented customer intimacy in the context of their online platform for jewelry design. Paradoxically, moving jewelry purchase out of retail stores has freed them to put each one of their customers at the focal point of realizing their own unique designs. Trove\u2019s innovative use of technology enables this to happen on customers\u2019 personal devices – both tools to support the creative process and RealityServer rendering to show them exactly how their design will look.<\/p>\n

Trove is already planning extensions to their range of rings and bracelets, with necklaces due to be added soon. Currently available for delivery to postal addresses in USA, Trove\u2019s success will inevitably see their coverage extend to other regions. At that point, an interesting fusion of cultural influences will take place as Trove\u2019s ever-expanding feed of design inspiration begins to reflect a new kaleidoscope of influences from different places.<\/p>\n
