(PRESS RELEASE) LAFAYETTE, LA — Gemvision is releasing its first paid upgrade MatrixGold 3. The new tools and significant improvements streamline the design process and increase productivity.

“MatrixGold 3 is the result of the feedback collected from our customers,” says Gemvision’s product director Oriol Collelldemont. “Listening to them allows us to continue transforming our software to meet their business needs.”

New additions include:

Gems Placer: This tool improves the placement of stones on any surface, mesh, and polysurface. With keyboard shortcuts, you can scale, rotate, move on the Z-axis, and select symmetry. The new functionality also helps you to avoid gem overlapping
Custom Gems Builder: With the Custom Gem Builder, you can create a gem from any closed curve you have in the document. The user controls the facets, table height, crown height, crown angle, girdle thickness, pavillion amount, and culet depth.
MSR on Gems: This tool allows you to transform a gem using viewport control handles to move, scale, and rotate. It can also modify multiple gems simultaneously. Each gem moves according to the direction it´s facing.
MSR On Objects: This tool allows you to transform an object using viewport control handles to move, scale and rotate. It also can modify multiple objects simultaneously. Each object moves according to the direction it is facing.
Pull to Rail: This tool allows you to flex an object, such as a bezel or head to the ring rail.
Advanced Signet Ring: This tool allows you to choose between an automatic mode or manual mode. The automatic mode allows you to design a signet ring in just a few clicks, while in the manual mode, the user will have the option to edit the profiles curves from the Profile Editor.
Proxy Gem: This tool allows you to edit many gems using a single base gem as a control.

Honoring a Legacy: How Smith & Son Jewelers Exceeded Every Goal With Wilkerson

When Andrew Smith decided to close the Springfield, Massachusetts location of Smith & Son Jewelers, the decision came down to family. His father was retiring after 72 years in the business, and Andrew wanted to spend more time with his children and soon-to-arrive grandchildren. For this fourth-generation jeweler whose great-grandfather founded the company in 1918, closing the 107-year-old Springfield location required the right partner. Smith chose Wilkerson, and the experience exceeded expectations from start to finish. "Everything they told me was 100% true," Smith says. "The ease and use of all their tools was wonderful." The consultants' knowledge and expertise proved invaluable. Smith and his father set their own financial goal, but Wilkerson proposed three more ambitious targets. "We thought we would never make it," Smith explains. "We were dead wrong. We hit our first goal, second goal and third goal. It was amazing." Smith's recommendation is emphatic: "I would never be able to do what they did by myself."
