Description
This amazingly detailed ring was crafted based on an image from the Zelda: The Breath of the Wild game. The ring features the four beasts as well as two guardians, and Ganon in the heat of battle with Link and Zelda. Each beast has its elemental power radiating out from it. The Great Sword is also located at the base of the ring. On the front the Castle takes center stage.
Along each outer ring are two phrases, each one written in Hyrule text:
"A sword wields no strength, unless that hand that holds it has courage"
"Have the courage to seek the wisdom that will grant you power"
The inside of the ring has this quote in 8-bit style text: "It's dangerous to go alone! Take this"
There was also a personal engraving added as well.
The ring was crafted as a custom wedding band, made in solid palladium with a slight antiquing process performed to the metal to give the background additional contrast against the foreground.

this is just absolutely awesome, but I just have to ask, is there any 3D printing used in this process or is this purely done by hand?

Its a mix, Much of the time spent was developing a basic CAD model (as well as additional time preparing 3 different versions of this for the customer that were never made, but presented as options, where is where 3d work really saved the day). But I am not sure if you have ever seen 3d printed pieces before... they need a lot of work afterwards to get them to look even remotely good. I often have to re-trace some of the fainter lines by hand to get them to be visible and crisp as printers, being digital, are not able to get some of the more analog style details that com with hand burnishing and graving.

yes actually I work with 3D printed steel parts frequently in my day job, especially machining them afterwards where the printing quality is not good enough, and I also have done a lot of CAD work and thus I know how insanely tedious a ring like this is to even draw in CAD. in my mind 3D printing does not diminish the value of things like this in any way. awesome work!

Thank you! I know that some appreciate it and others not so much, but anyone who, like yourself has either tried to finish 3d printed parts, or cad them know it is still a lot of work

yeah many people think that 3D printing produces complete things, when it actually just produces crude base models, and thanks!

Pun intended?

Not really. As an archaeologist it looks like something I might come up with in a mezo American dig, so fine is your level of craftmanship.

That is sort of the look we were going for, which was important since at this level of detail, it would have been difficult to get it to be highly defined anyways.

You succeeded beautifully then.
