    Well, yes, I hope so!  :o)

   Yes, that's what I do, I design and make jewellery. I'm just about to 
start making this single coil snake ring in silver, so I'll post an image or 
two on my little personal website when it's finished.


Are you rendering it in POV-Ray for fun, or does it

  Well, I've found that I'm using PoV-Ray a lot more now for jewellery 
design. Yes, it's fun! Last week I designed 5 rings and a pendant and 
earring set. That was the best and most enjoyable weeks work I've done for 
some time. Getting paid to play with PoV-Ray is good!  :o)

      Oh, I don't worry about that. Basically, there are no blueprints as 
such for most common jewellery items, but when it comes to something that's 
going to be an expensive design, then sure, you either draw it correctly, or 
make an exact silver model so that the customer knows exactly what s/he is 
getting.

     It does work better. I was a little ambitious with my first snake... 
;)

  My pleasure. As long as my work is (sometimes) enjoyed, I'll keep on 
goin'!  :o)



Do you happen to have a

    Oh, now you've gone and said it Stefan. ;)  I don't at the moment, but I 
now have many images, so I guess I should. I'll post a link sometime in the 
near future.
