DEV3 Aurelle is a Shopify theme for fine jewellers, engagement ring specialists and jewellery ateliers. It is quiet and luxurious (a two-tier centred wordmark header that condenses on scroll, Cormorant and Montserrat, arched product cards with a slow hover glint, ivory, onyx, blush and champagne schemes) with refined motion and one 3D object: a ring that turns inside an arch in the hero.
A 3D ring turntable with metal and stone swatches
- Choose the procedural ring style: solitaire, oval, halo, three-stone, pavé, eternity, plain band or signet.
- Metals and stones are simple
Name: #hex lists; clicking a swatch eases the ring's metal or stone to that colour, so a shopper can try a sapphire on rose gold right in the hero.
- Upload your own GLB to replace the procedural ring, and set a poster image for browsers without WebGL. With reduced motion the ring stands still.
Help buyers get the size right
- Ring sizer: customers measure around the finger or inside a ring they already own, and the converter shows US/CA, UK/AU and EU sizes and highlights the matching row of your size table.
- Print the paper sizer prints only the sizer strip at true scale, with a 50 mm calibration bar to check the printer did not scale it.
- The same converter opens in a drawer from the product page whenever a product has a size option.
Personal touches on the product page
- Engraving with a live preview on a gold band and three lettering styles (Script, Serif and Block), saved as line-item properties only when filled in. Shown on products tagged
engravable by default.
- Gift wrap and gift note with a character counter, also saved as line-item properties, so they appear on the cart, the order and the packing slip.
- Specifications (metal, stone, band and setting) from metafields, a consultation link card and deep zoom: pan with the pointer, zoom 100–400% with the buttons or the wheel, drag on touch.
- Engraving and gift wrap are complimentary out of the box; to charge for them, use an app that adds a fee product.
Consultations, provenance and occasions
- Consultation booking: a request form with visit type (atelier or video), atelier, preferred date and time, interest and budget. It is a standard Shopify contact form, so requests arrive in your store's contact email. No payment is taken and no calendar slot is reserved: you confirm the time by email.
- Provenance: up to 5 sourcing steps and 4 stats beside a pinned arched image that crossfades per step, while a gold line draws down the page. Write only what you can stand behind.
- Occasions: up to 5 arched collection tiles in a staggered rhythm (engagement, bands, everyday, gifts); a swipe row on phones.
- Journal: the latest articles in an editorial layout with one lead story.
- Page templates for The atelier, Book a consultation, Ring size guide, Materials & care, FAQ and Contact.
Online Store 2.0, built from scratch
- Our own Online Store 2.0 base, built from scratch (not a Dawn fork): JSON templates, sections everywhere, app blocks, and header and footer section groups. Every section can be added, reordered, duplicated or hidden in the theme editor.
- Cart drawer that updates in place with upsells, predictive search, quick view and quick add, Storefront filtering and sorting (with the free Search & Discovery app), metallic and gem swatches, recommendations, recently viewed, sticky add to cart, country and language selectors, customer accounts, gift card and password pages.
- Native 3D model media: upload a
.glb or .usdz to a product and the gallery shows Shopify's 3D viewer with a "View in your space" AR button on supported phones. The demo solitaire ships with its model.
- Motion settings: animation level Off, Subtle or Full, reveal style, duration and stagger. Letters rise out of a soft blur and arches unveil; visitors who ask for reduced motion always get static content.
- The 3D engine (three.js) is not part of the initial page load: it downloads only when the hero object is near the viewport and pauses offscreen. The initial JavaScript is about 25 KB gzip.
- Shopify Theme Check: 0 errors. The theme was tested on a Shopify development store, from add to cart to the cart drawer and cart page.
There is no public live demo, because the demo runs as an unpublished preview on a password-protected development store. Watch the video tour at the top of this page, or step through the screenshots at desktop, tablet and phone sizes.
