this is of course a verry personel qeustion we could all ask our self. how "modern" would I like to be? especiualy with rapid prototyping comming up, lots of jewlers just draw a model with Computer aided design and print or lasser cut it in wax. after that you can just cast a ring in using lost wax methode. you barely have to touch it and youre done.
for my self, I don't work that much with programs like these because I work very organic in nature. but for more cheometrik shapes its a time saver. in the end I think it can add something to your skill, but youve got to be carefull that it doesn't dominate youre style.
don't be scared of a scetch book & pic up drawing. anyone can learn to draw descent but it takes time. learning cad&cam drawing to.
