I am new to jewelry design. And would like to design jewelry with a CAD software which is easy to learn, allows you to draw and modify 3 D designs easily such that a jeweler can manufacture them. Can I learn the tool myself or do I need to take a class? If a class, where can I take it?
It depends on how complex your designs will be and your budget. A typical full-feature 3D software will range from 3500.00-4500.00 dollars. There are of course many other options that are even free (blender.org), but from experience they aren’t always the most user friendly.
I would definitely recommend taking professional classes online or at an authorized training center.

There is a software called Matrix 6 by Gemvision that has many great features and support.
When they pierce the tragus, what jewelry do they use? Is it always with a hoop, or could I get it pierced with a diamon stud? I want to get my tragus done but I don’t want the hoop, I want the stud.
Thanks!
Most common jewelry is either a ring or a short bar, or stud as you call it.
Whichever jewelry you ultimately want, it’s better to heal with a straight or slightly curved bar initially regardless. Your piercer will measure to work out the best bar length for you. You can then put a gem stud on the outer side of the bar, and a flat back on the inside, just like you would for a labret piercing.
You might have to buy a smaller bar once the initial swelling has gone to give a snug fit, especially if you use earphones.
A tip for fast healing of any cartilage piercing: find a piercer who can do the piercing with a dermal/biopsy punch. This removes the cartilage altogether rather than pushing out on it, and means your piercing should heal in a fraction of the time – perhaps a 3-4 months rather than close to a year. There will also be less pain both during and after the procedure.
Note that if you’re in Florida (and perhaps certain other places of the world), you have no choice but to have a traditional needle piercing as biopsy punches are regarded as controlled medical tools.

I’ve got a formal cream-colored gown I’m planning to wear to a gala event. What kind of jewelry can I wear with it? I think pearls might clash since they’re white, but could I do pearl drop earrings since they’ll be farther from the dress? Does a gold necklace work? Any other suggestions?
white and gold, cream and gold, ivory and gold, they’re all beautiful. No pearls. I would definitely go with gold, it’s very back in style.

I am trying to figure out what color jewelry and what makeup works best for my prom look. I have a dark turquoise prom dress with allover turquoise/green/purple beading. I have very fair skin, blond hair, and blue eyes. Looking for what color bracelets/earrings/rings would go with my dress and features…I’m not planning on wearing a necklace because my dress has a criss-cross style neck. Any help is appreciated!
try dark purple
gold
green
pink

I have never really worn jewelry and im not sure what to watch for when wearing it. Im almost 25, weird i know but what im asking is How do i know what jewelry goes with what? Mostly im curious about necklaces and earrings and how to know when to wear certain types of them, for example i love the chandelier style. Any advice would be great thanks
Thanks for all the advice, i really appreciate it. I Like dangling earings because they seem to soften my facial features up a bit. I wound up with my fathers looks somehow.
The key is to not have too much at the same time
1) for chandelier earrings do a dainty necklace or go bare neck
2) for a statement necklace(a bold necklace) do small studs
3) rings I just wear 3 , if you do a cocktail ring you could wear either a statement necklace or you chandelier earrings
4) huge bangles just do studs and a dainty necklace
basically if you showoff one piece mute the rest
