Design Your Own Jewelry Online Free

Yes, you can design jewelry online for free. Burnish Pro's free tier includes 150 one-time credits — enough to generate around 30 photorealistic concepts, create angle variants on your strongest picks, and produce 2 full 3D models. No credit card required, no trial countdown, no feature gates. The free credits never expire.

What 150 Credits Gets You

Every action in Burnish Pro costs a specific number of credits. Here is exactly what 150 credits buys, depending on how you spend them:

You can mix and match. A practical first session might look like this: generate 20 concepts on Gemini Flash (100 credits), create a 4-angle variant set on your favorite (20 credits), and send it to 3D (30 credits remaining — not enough for a 3D model, but enough for 6 more concepts or another variant set). Or skip 3D entirely and spend all 150 credits on exploration — that is 30 unique design directions to evaluate.

Your First Free Design Session

The fastest way to go from signup to a rendered jewelry concept:

1. Create your account. Email and password. No credit card. You land on the dashboard with 150 credits.

2. Open a new run. Select "New Run" from the dashboard. This opens the design form.

3. Configure your piece. Select from structured options — no prompt writing required:

• Type — Choose from Rings, Chains, Pendants, Earrings, Bracelets, Watches, Necklaces, Grills, Cufflinks, Anklets, Brooches, or Custom/Logo
• Style — Select one or more from 18 named styles: Classic, Vintage, Minimalist, Art Deco, Iced Out, Micro Pavé, and more
• Metal — Choose the specific alloy: 14K Yellow Gold, 18K Rose Gold, Platinum, Sterling Silver, Black Rhodium, and others
• Stones — Select stone type (Natural Diamond, Lab Diamond, Ruby, Emerald, Sapphire, and more), cut, and setting pattern (Single, Halo, Three-Stone, Eternity Band, Full Pavé, Channel, Cluster, and others)
• Photography — Choose a preset: Auto, Clean E-Commerce, Lifestyle, Editorial Dark, Natural Light, or Studio Dramatic

4. Add Custom Instructions (optional). Use the Custom Instructions field to specify details the form does not cover — carat weight, clasp type, band width, engraving, finish. Example: "1.5ct center, cathedral setting, high-polish finish."

5. Set your quantity and generate. Start with 10-20 images to explore the design space. At 5 credits each on Gemini Flash, 20 images costs 100 credits.

6. Review and select. Browse your generated concepts. Favorite the ones worth developing further. Select a winner and generate angle variants (front, side, back, perspective) for 20 credits.

A complete walkthrough of the configuration workflow and what each option controls is in the AI jewelry design guide.

A Specific Example

Here is a concrete free session that uses the full pipeline:

Configuration: Pendant > Sterling Silver > Lab Diamond > Single Stone > Minimalist > Clean E-Commerce

Custom Instructions: "Pear-shaped stone, thin bail, high-polish finish"

Session:

Total output: 22 concept images and 2 complete 4-angle variant sets — enough to share with a client, a manufacturer, or a team for feedback. If you want to skip the second round of exploration and send a design to 3D instead, the math works differently: 15 concepts (75) + 1 variant set (20) + 1 3D model (60) = 155 credits. Slightly over the free allotment, but dropping to 12 concepts gets you there at 145 credits.

For designers who want full control over any category, each main section in the design form offers a Custom Prompt override as an advanced option — but the structured selections produce expert-quality results without it.

What Free Does NOT Include

Transparency matters. Here is what the free tier does not offer:

• Credits do not renew. The 150 credits are a one-time allotment. Once you use them, they are gone. Paid plans (Pro and Enterprise) include monthly credit pools that reset each billing cycle.
• No team features. Free accounts are single-user. Inviting team members, sharing runs within an organization, and role-based access (editor, viewer, admin) require a paid plan.
• Rate limit of 10 requests per minute. Paid plans have higher throughput for batch generation workflows.
• No credit top-ups. One-time credit purchases are available on paid plans only. Free accounts cannot buy additional credits without upgrading.

What the free tier does include: full access to all three AI providers (Gemini Flash, Gemini Pro, OpenAI GPT-Image), all jewelry types and styles, all photography presets, angle variant generation, 3D model generation, and all export formats (GLB, OBJ, FBX, USDZ). The creative tools are identical across tiers — the difference is volume.

Maximizing Your Free Credits

A few strategies to get the most from 150 credits:

• Start with Gemini Flash. At 5 credits per image, Flash gives you 30 concepts for the full allotment. Save Gemini Pro (17 credits) or OpenAI GPT-Image (10 credits) for hero renders on your top pick after you have narrowed down.
• Be specific early. Vague configurations produce generic results you will discard. A fully configured design — type, style, metal, stones, pattern, and Custom Instructions — produces concepts worth keeping on the first batch. Fewer wasted generations means more credits for exploration.
• Skip 3D if you are evaluating. A 3D model costs 60 credits — 40% of your free allotment. If you are still deciding whether the platform fits your workflow, spend those 60 credits on more concepts and variants instead. You can always upgrade and run 3D later.

When to Upgrade

The free tier is designed for evaluation. It gives you enough credits to run one or two complete design sessions and decide if the workflow fits how you work.

If you find yourself wanting more, two paid tiers are available:

At Pro tier pricing, 2,000 credits per month supports roughly 9 full design sessions (20 concepts → 3 shortlisted with variants → 1 to 3D) or 400 individual concept images on Gemini Flash. Enterprise supports 36 full sessions or 1,600 images. Both plans include team features and credit top-ups for busy months.
