Artificial Intelligence and Fine Jewellery - How we did it at Brilliyond

A few days ago (3rd August 2023 to be exact), we celebrated a significant milestone at Brilliyond Jewellery: our first online sale of an engagement ring designed entirely by Artificial Intelligence. The entire process was a testament to the power of innovation and creative collaboration.

Harnessing the capabilities of AI, we generated a diverse range of engagement ring designs. Our vast collection of coloured gemstones, including exquisite sapphires and rubies, allowed us to seamlessly match these designs with our inventory. The result? Striking ring designs paired with exquisite gemstones are all showcased on the sapphire engagement rings page.

On August 3rd, a customer fell in love with one of these designs, a stunning rose gold engagement ring graced with a mesmerizing padparadscha sapphire centre stone.

The AI-Generated Design

Upon receiving the order, our established workflow kicked in. Leveraging cutting-edge CAD/CAM technology, we transformed the AI-generated image into a precise 3D-printed model and then into an 18K rose gold sapphire engagement ring.

The outcome was breathtaking, a ring that perfectly mirrored the AI's creative vision. Fast forward to August 16th, and the ring was elegantly packaged and shipped to its eagerly awaiting recipient.

The Final Product

AI design processes differ from traditional CAD designs, where our artisans have greater control. Yet, AI brings a remarkable advantage, crafting a design takes mere minutes, compared to hours spent by CAD designers.

Today, our website showcases a rich gallery of AI-generated engagement ring designs, each thoughtfully matched with a genuine earth-mined gemstone from our inventory. While we were uncertain before that first sale, our confidence in this experiment has grown. In fact, our customer is still unaware that their unique ring was AI-generated, a revelation we're saving for their proposal moment.

To our knowledge, no other jewellery company has embarked on a similar journey, possibly making this story unique and original.
