There are jewelers who do this all the time. I myself don't have a 4th axis so I haven't taken the time to learn the steps, there are people out there who have videos like:

Hi mike thanks for taking the time to answer to my question i have a laser also and if you remove the y axis and plug the rotary into it you can laser on the rotary on my cnc i have dual y axis so i believe i can remove the y and use a rotary however i dont see how or were in carveco maker were you can setup the model to do this i imagine that you would create the toolpath the same as normal only your y would turn on the rotary and your x would be back and forth so you could remove your y and attach your rotary my issue is i cant figure out how to setup the model in maker there is a ton of artcam video's on this but i dont see the same tools. by the way the link is broken to video.
Hi Christopher,
We've ensured that the YouTube video shared by Mike is displayed correctly. Since you're working in Carveco Maker, it is not possible to create a rotary model. You can compare the different Carveco products on our company website: https://carveco.com/carveco-software-range/product-comparison/
can you in maker plus or is it only the ultimate package
Hi Christopher,
At present, it is not possible to create a rotary model in Carveco Maker+; it is possible to create a rotary model in our flagship Carveco product.
If you have any further questions or requests, please do not hesitate to ask.
HI. I AM MAKING A ROTARY IN CARVCO AND MY DESIGN IS OVERLAPPING WHEN I MACHINE IT.
I AM WORKING WITH A DIAMETER OF 4" AND CIRCUMFRENCE IS 12.402"
PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS OVERLAPPING.

I FOLLOWED ROGER WEBB TUTORIAL ( 227 CNC ROUTER 4TH AXIS MACHINING WITH THE X AXIS) AND I MIGHT BE MISSING SOMETHING.
PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO SEND THE G-CODE SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT I HAVE DONE THAT CAUSED MY 4TH AXIS ROTARY DESIGN TO OVERLAP.
THANKS YOU
GARY.
Hi Gary,
We expect you're referring to the following demonstration video on Roger Webb's YouTube channel, which has not been created by our company:
