thanx Maybe a few days. It's one of those projects where I cast it...and then I threw it in my box because I wasn't all that crazy about it. Then one day I decided to put a texture on it (it was polished smooth) and set a pearl and I was like whhhoooa, that totally doesn't look like the same ring. It's amazing how the little things can make or break a design on something so simple.

I really like the texture of this; sort of rough-hewned which serves as an interesting contrast to the refined smoothness of the pearl.

thank you for your comment. I agree, I'm really glad I decided not to make it shiny

I've been getting into rough metal textures lately, so I was happy to see your take on it.

mm, i really love the minimalism of this.

is the texture just a result of the casting, or was that added later? it's beautiful.

thank you for your comment. The texture was added later with a coarse file. Originally, I was going to polish it smooth,and make the ring really shiny, but I put the same texture on this ring:[link] and I really liked it

mmm, yeah. don't get me wrong; shiny is nice. but there's something really fantastic about a little texture.
