Budget-true
Shoppers set a number before they generate. The estimate is itemised from your price book and metal spot — not a mood-board range. If it overshoots, they get a fit, not a surprise.

What Render Quote AI is
AI jewelry design that stays on your bench.
Render Quote AI is an embeddable jewelry design widget jewelers put on their own site. Shoppers design (or remount from a photo), get a budget-true estimate from the jeweler’s price book, and leave a lead the jeweler owns — with optional deposits on the jeweler’s Stripe account. No invite-only waitlist. Also sold as a Jewelia add-on.
You own the lead
White-label on your domain. Contact, spec, and score land in your dashboard — or sync into Jewelia. We are not a rented inbox.
Remount from a photo
Upload a picture of a ring or pendant they already own. Carato treats it as a style and stone reference. Never a size guess. Never a body try-on.
Modules
Six surfaces. One design brief.
Widget capture, Front threads, orders, Associate, deposits, and Jewelia sync share the same lead — so nothing gets retyped when the shopper is ready to buy.
Design widget
Embeddable designer with photoreal renders and a budget-true estimate from your price book.
Jewelia Front
Shared inbox for SMS, Instagram, and Text-us — tied to the same design brief.
Orders
Per-order next steps from deposit held through Send to CAD and Open in Jewelia.
Associate
After-hours drafts for sizing, timeline, text-to-pay, and appointments — you approve first.
Deposits & wallets
Stripe Connect holds, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Link, and pay-later on your account.
Jewelia sync
Push customer, draft order, and production spec into Jewelia CRM/PM without retyping.
How it works
Design. Estimate. Lead or deposit.
Three steps on your storefront. No white-glove onboarding call required to try it — paste a snippet, or play with the widget above.
- 01Design
Shoppers pick a piece, describe the look, or upload a photo of jewelry they already own to remount or recut. First render is ungated.
- 02Estimate
Your price book, your metals, budget near the end. They see whether the piece fits before they fall in love with the wrong number.
- 03Lead or deposit
A scored brief in your CRM. Optional Stripe Connect hold on your account — not ours. Ready for the bench, not another form fill.

Deposits
The money sits in their account.
When a shopper commits, the hold is a Stripe Connect destination charge on the jeweler’s connected account. Carato processes the widget. You are the merchant of the custom order.
Not our till
We do not sweep custom deposits into a Carato balance you have to wait on. The hold is on the studio that will make the piece.
Lead still arrives
Spec, estimate, budget fit, and contact land in your dashboard even if they only request a quote. Deposit is optional — Atelier and connected Stripe.
Jewelia path
On the Jewelia add-on, a committed design can become a customer + draft order + production spec. Same widget, your books.
Checkout
Deposits, wallets, and pay later — on your Stripe.
Atelier connects Stripe so a hold or balance is a destination charge on your account. Shoppers can use card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Link. Pay-later providers (where you enable them) fund the same custom order — Carato never becomes the merchant of record.
Hold vs book
A flat deposit hold can lock the design while you quote bench time. Pay-later Checkout covers larger balances when the shopper wants installments — still on your Connect account.
Wallets at the counter
Mobile shoppers tap Apple Pay or Google Pay inside the widget flow. No separate “platform wallet” that pays you later.
Lead even if they only browse
Spec, budget fit, and contact land in Admin even when they skip checkout. Money is optional; the brief is not.
Jewelia Front
Shared inbox for the design — SMS, Instagram, and the widget in one place.
Podium-class team messaging, built as a Carato add-on for Jewelia — not a second vendor that owns the relationship. Every thread carries the render, estimate, and lead score so after-hours Associate, text-to-pay, pay later, and book-this-piece land on the same brief.

Design context on every thread
Piece type, metals, budget fit, and render sit beside the SMS — not a blank CRM card you retype at 9pm.
Associate after hours
Suggested replies for sizing, timeline, $350 text-to-pay, pay later, and appointments. You approve before anything sends.
Still your customer
Front runs in Carato Admin; Open in Jewelia pushes the same lead into CRM/PM. We are not a rented inbox that owns the relationship.
Jewelia + Carato
Open in Jewelia when the design becomes an order.
Primary path: buy Jewelia, Carato included. A committed lead becomes a customer, draft order, and production spec inside Jewelia CRM/PM — one click from Admin, one login via Jewelia SSO.
Push, don’t retype
Metals, stones, sizing notes, and estimate lines travel with the lead. Bench staff pick up in Jewelia where marketing left off.
Production spec sheet
Internal production fields stay in Jewelia; the shopper still only sees the photoreal render and itemised estimate.
Not POS software
Carato does not replace Jewelia’s nine modules. It feeds custom design demand into the system you already run the business on.
Pricing
Jewelia + Carato. One login.
Design-only tools sell a widget and follow-up. You get CRM, Front, deposits, CAD handoff, and Carato generations — metered by plan so Starter demos value and Pro runs the bench.

FAQ
Answers for jewelers (and AI overviews).
What Render Quote AI is, who it is for, how it works, and what it costs — in crawlable HTML with FAQ schema.
What is Render Quote AI?
Render Quote AI is an embeddable jewelry design widget jewelers put on their own website. Shoppers describe a custom piece — or upload a photo of jewelry they already own — then get a photoreal render and a budget-true itemised estimate from that jeweler’s price book. The lead stays with the jeweler. Optional deposits hold on the jeweler’s Stripe account.
Who is Render Quote AI for?
Independent jewelers, custom shops, and Jewelia-connected stores that want shoppers to design on-site, inside a real budget, instead of losing custom work to a third-party waitlist or a rented lead funnel.
How does Render Quote AI work?
Three steps: design, estimate, lead or deposit. Paste one script. Shoppers pick a piece (or remount from a photo), set a budget near the end, then generate. Carato returns a render (target under 30s), a price-book estimate with budget fit, and a hot/warm/nurture lead. Stripe Connect deposits, when enabled, land on the jeweler’s account.
How is Render Quote AI different from invite-only jewelry AI tools?
You can try it on this page — there is no waitlist. Carato wins after the render: budget-true pricing from your book, leads you own, remount from a photo of existing jewelry, and a Jewelia add-on. We do not sell someone else’s 600-ring catalog, and we do not claim a 5× conversion multiplier we have not measured on your traffic.
What does “budget-true” mean?
The shopper sets a budget before generate. The estimate comes from your price book and metal spot, not a generic range. If the look overshoots, they see a fit-to-budget option instead of falling in love with a piece they cannot buy.
Can shoppers remount or recut existing jewelry?
Yes. They upload a photo of a ring or pendant they already own. Carato uses it as a style and stone reference — never to guess ring size, never as a body try-on. You can turn the path off under Admin → Offerings.
Where does the deposit go?
On the jeweler’s Stripe Connect account. Carato is not the merchant of the custom order. You wake up to a specced lead — and when they committed, a hold already sitting with you.
What does Render Quote AI cost?
Carato ships inside Jewelia plans: Starter $179/mo (100 generations, Front off), Pro $399/mo (500 generations, Front + Associate + CAD portal + pay later), Enterprise $999/mo (2,000 generations + SSO). Annual billing includes two months free. Standalone Carato is legacy only — not the lead SKU.
Can I try Render Quote AI before buying?
Yes. The widget on this homepage is live. Open /embed-demo for a full-page walk, paste the Shopify snippet on /install, or sign in to the public demo jeweler dashboard. No credit card. No invite code.
How do I install Carato on Shopify?
Paste one script tag and a div where you want the inline designer. Full launcher, theme-app, and Partner OAuth notes are on /install. The homepage widget uses the same script your theme will load.
Does Carato support pay later or wallets at checkout?
On Atelier with Stripe Connect, shoppers can pay a deposit or balance with card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or Link. Pay-later options (such as Affirm or Klarna where enabled) run as separate Checkout sessions on your connected account — Carato does not sweep the money.
What is Jewelia Front?
Front is the shared team inbox inside Carato for jewelers on the Jewelia add-on: SMS, Instagram DMs, and web-widget “Text us” threads tied to the same design brief and estimate — Podium-class operations without a second vendor. Associate drafts after-hours replies, text-to-pay deposits, pay-later links, review invites, and book-this-piece appointments from your price book.
Can Front text a deposit link or book an appointment?
Yes. Playbooks insert a text-to-pay hold (for example a $350 deposit on your Stripe Connect account), a pay-later Checkout link where enabled, a Google review ask, or a piece-tied appointment — all from the same Front thread that already shows the render and estimate.
What does Open in Jewelia do?
On the Jewelia add-on, committed leads can push a customer, draft order, and production spec into Jewelia CRM/PM. Your team continues in Jewelia without retyping the custom job.
Is Carato white-label on my domain?
Yes. The widget runs on your storefront with your theme tokens. Leads, deposits, and comms are yours — Carato is infrastructure, not a rented lead marketplace.
Does Carato generate CAD or STL files?
No. Carato produces photoreal renders and a production-ready brief for your bench. We do not claim automatic CAD output — your shop still owns CAD from your usual tools.
