(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.

When There’s No Succession Plan, Call Wilkerson

Bob Wesley, owner of Robert C. Wesley Jewelers in Scottsdale, Ariz., was a third-generation jeweler. When it was time to enjoy life on the other side of the counter, he weighed his options. His lease was nearing renewal time and with no succession plan, he decided it was time to call Wilkerson. There was plenty of inventory to sell and at first, says Wesley, he thought he might try to manage a sale himself. But he’s glad he didn’t. “There’s no way I could have done this as well as Wilkerson,” he says. Wilkerson took responsibility for the entire event, with every detail — from advertising to accounting — done, dusted and managed by the Wilkerson team. “It’s the complete package,” he says of the Wilkerson method of helping jewelers to easily go on to the next phase of their lives. “There’s no way any retailer can duplicate what they’ve done.”
