Hi everyone! I built Lulim Jewelry after spending some time figuring out how to design and 3D print my own wedding band.

My day job was in the 3D printing industry and I knew how far the technology had come so I busted out the CAD tools and designed a ring with my wife's fingerprint on it. I thought the processes could be much easier and thus Lulim was born.

The website is built with Vue.js, Canvas.js, and Three.js. Unfortunately those last two can be somewhat resource intensive so I'd love to get feedback from others regarding performance on different devices, OSes, and browsers. I decided to do as much work in the client side as possible so that this website is cheap to keep running. I wanted my costs to scale with sales and to minimize any recurring monthly fees. This is my first real Vue app so I am sure there are things that could be better!

Feedback on the company idea, site layout, tech stack or anything else is appreciated!

If anyone is interested in buying a ring shoot me an email (jack @ ) and I can give you a decent discount.

Why is the custom design only on the inside? I think I'd be much more interested if it were on the outside.

I personally liked the idea of a simple classic ring on the outside with the personalization only on the inside, but I acknowledge that is just my preference.

I do plan on adding outside customization soon but I wanted to launch ASAP.

If you are interested I can pretty easily make a ring with the design on the outside for you.

BTW: The name "Lulim" is the Arameic for spiral, in Modern Hebrew there are words like "לולין" ("Lulyan" / acrobat) that take this root) See: http://www.de-bruyn.it/english/0557_lulim.shtml

I choose lulim as the name after lu-lim, the ancient Sumerian name for Saturn[0] (the planet with rings!)

A custom wedding band is a great option. I made one with a design we sketched in the sand, modelled myself, printed via shapeways. Unique, affordable, easy to replace... Much better than spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on a shiny stone :) The design can be tricky, so great to see another tool to make this easier!
