Cinematic motion for fine jewellery.

Jewellery animation is film-quality motion built around a single piece or a collection, produced entirely in CGI rather than shot on a set. XO3D is a director-led product CGI studio in Stevenage, UK, and it builds jewellery films from CAD or a modelled 3D source, which means campaign assets can be finished before the piece is manufactured. Story, lighting language, materials and pace are agreed before a frame is rendered, then the sequence is developed through animatic, render and grade with sign-off at each stage. Accurate diamond ray tracing and metal reflectance are what allow cut, polish and setting to read as valuable in motion, and getting them wrong undermines the product. Delivery covers a master film alongside the social cut-downs a launch needs, so one directed piece of work carries the campaign across every channel.

FAQ

Common questions, answered.

Can you make CGI jewellery look like real jewellery?
Yes, we render to PBR material standards with accurate diamond ray-tracing and metal IORs. The CGI vs photography distinction effectively disappears at production quality.
How long does production take?
Most jewellery animations run 4-8 weeks end-to-end depending on complexity.

Your next project

Give the material room to register.

Plan camera speed, close-up detail and lighting around the piece. Reflective-surface craft is relevant across products; select a jewellery reference for the actual metal and stone treatment before production.

A route to consider

Product CGI Films

A product film developed through creative treatment, storyboard, animatic, product review and final picture and sound.

Bring these three things.

  1. Which facets and settings need close views?
  2. What physical finish references exist?
  3. What runtime and viewing formats are required?

Start with an outline. We review the product, intended outputs and timing before agreeing the production scope.
