    Heh, thanks. That's a first for me! The ashtray is what they call
a 'Whitefriers' design, and modeled in sPatch about four years ago,
(it's amazing that I've still got it!)

    The main knot pattern is a series of six smaller 'Triquetra'
knots, or some call them 'Trefoil' knots. I deal with these knots all
the time in my job, and have made similar bracelets to this one.

   The finish that I used for the gold is:

    texture{ T_Gold_1A}
   finish {
        ambient 0.035
        diffuse .3
        reflection .03
        brilliance 5
        phong 0.41
        phong_size 2

   I think it's the diffuse that gets it to a better colour for
jewellery. Glad you like it.
