Hi Steve,
Whew, I thought Thunderbird would never let me reply! That's a very nice
design, Steve. Those diamonds are also awesome. I'm guessing the leaves
and berries are a height_field? Of course, after seeing the earrings,
I'm not so sure.
One critique about the gold texture: the reflections need to be more
contrasty, IMO. May I suggest no ambient, high brilliance (probably
already has that) and high reflection (more than 0.5)?
Are you able to make designs of this kind in real life? I know you're a
jeweler, that's why I ask :) It would be *very* cool to make my own
jewelry (especially since we can find our own gold up here in the Gold
Country!).
Nice work! Those earrings are a perfect match for the cross.
~Sam

Heh, thanks Sam. I think I struck lucky with the diamonds. ;) Not so sure
about them in the next image though.

You would be right to be doubtful, they're all Wings models.

Hmm, I didn't have brilliance in the statement with those first two
images, but I've tried it in the next image. Here's what I've used:
T_Gold_2A
finish{
diffuse 0.3
ambient 0.0
specular 0.6
brilliance .5
phong .5
reflection .5
conserve_energy}}
I'm not sure if it has made a difference or not, but what else could I
change or add?

Well, I hope I can make them! :) These might be going in a catalogue
soon. (I'd made the mistake of showing the bossman one of my printed
renders, and he thinks it's a photograph, so he wants me to design something
for the catalogue). I designed the earrings about two years ago, and the
cross and brooch are new designs. The idea is to have sprinklings of
diamonds on the new designs. Yes, I can make them. :o)
It would be *very* cool to make my own

All you need is a 3' x 2' bench in a 6' space, some hand tools, propane,
and you're away.
(especially since we can find our own gold up here in the Gold
> Country!).
Lucky you! Send some my way! :o)

Now with a brooch, or, as some of you might call it, a pin. With this image
I cranked it up and used +a0.0 +am2, and it took 6.5 hours! The first two
images took just 30 mins. each with standard AA.

If it's that easy then why isn't everyone doing it :-)
I think that you forgot to mention talent and the ability to work with your
hands. Both of which you have.
Regards
Stephen

He does take commissions so be careful what you wish for :-)
Steve designed and made a fantastic opal ring for my wife, which she loves.

Actually, I think everyone IS doing it! Too many designers out there now
that the internet is available. It's a good challenge though. :o)

Designers are ten a penny.

What I had not seen earlier, is that you seem to have used a (subdued)
celtic pattern as a basis, haven't you? In the brooch it shows more.
Excellent work, btw. You are a multi-talented fellow Steve.
