Very well modelled (Wings?)

Nice one, Steve.  Great modelling, great texturing.

Great
Now, you need photons with dispersion.

G'day Steve,
Those triquetras are indeed impressive. You've managed to capture the 
feel of the gold as it's shaped into the complex mould.

I'm also enchanted by the two-tones .. but I'd like to see something in 
the transition .. even if it's just a torus (I'm sure there's a 
professional term for it in the jewellry trade) made from one or the 
other to mark the change.

I can't wait for you to turn on the photons now :)

You've inspired me to get back to my black pearls!

Cheers!
Rick Measham

Left ring: Yellow, rose, and white gold. Right ring: Yellow and white gold.

  Bog-standard photons were used, but no cigar.

  Can anyone tell me what settings are best for photons?

      Thanks! The one celtic shoulder took me about 2 hours to complete, and 
the rest was fairly simple.

      Well, there is no term really, apart from on the left ring posted, it 
would be called a 'bar', or if there's two per shoulder, it would be 
'double-bar'. On the right ring, one could also file two grooves, but the 
first image I posted is also viable.

  I have in the next image, but after 20 hrs and 19 minutes, I've failed 
abysmally. I just can't get photons right. :/

  Hey thanks! It's nice to know that *I* can inspire someone for a change, 
instead of the other way 'round!  :o)

   Looking forward to those pearls!

   I used this in my latest image:

 interior {ior 2.4 caustics .5 dispersion 1.05
  dispersion_samples 20 }}

  So where am I going wrong? What do I need to do?

Photons block in #global_settings: set a spacing small enough OR a count high enough.
In the objects deffinitions: add a photons block that contain target, refraction on
and reflection on.
You don't realy need a photons block in the light_source unless you want the light NOT
to shoot 
photons (fill light) or it's an area_light and you want the photons to be diffuse
instead of point like.
Another thing, high ambient tend to hide photons effects, many included textures have
exessive 
ambient values as left over from early versions.
