FBX viewer: open an FBX file online
Drop an .fbx file and it opens in your browser, rendered with jewellery materials and studio lighting. The viewer reads the meshes in the scene and lists each as a part, marked as metal or stone where it can tell. You do not need Maya, 3ds Max or Blender, and the file is not uploaded.

What an FBX holds
FBX is Autodesk's interchange format for whole scenes: meshes, materials, cameras, lights and animation. For a piece of jewellery only the meshes matter, and those are what the viewer draws.
A lighter format for the web
FBX files are large and not something a browser loads on a product page. Convert the piece to GLB to put it in front of shoppers.
Questions
Does the viewer play FBX animation?
No. It shows the meshes in the file as a still piece you can turn and zoom; cameras, lights and animation in the scene are not used.
Who uses FBX for jewellery?
Mostly studios working in Maya, 3ds Max or a game engine, where FBX is the common way to move a scene between programs.
