House of Chimney Wedding Ring?

i receive this rough design sketch via email

Ring surface: Mirror Finishing

Front and back surface finishing: Matte

Sculpture ring design

Material: Palladium Silver

I never talk to the owner of the ring but his best friend. They are from UK. The only information I got for this custom made ring design is the rough sketch. Not even the ring size. He wanted it to be silver so I recommend him a better quality palladium silver.
We meet the best friend at Ikea in one morning. With nice coffee, hot dog, curry puff and ice cream, we chat for two hours more. We took 20% of the time to discuss about the ring design and the rest was about life. This is always the best part of my work. Meeting and sharing though with  people from differences backgrounds and experiences. Chin and me take turn chatting with him and taking care of our two princesses. (Sign!)
I never have a chance to know the origin of design ideas. Anyway, its structure create a house of chimney picture in my mind.

What is so great about JewelCad?






Why JewelCad? I have meet a few local Jewelry Designers who use JewelCad as their designing tools and most of them give positive respond. Initially, I disagree with them. The JewelCad user interface display present complicated lines and wires frame which make me really headache. However, once I have get use to it then miracle of the software starts to review. JewelCad works as intuitive as pen in my hand. I really admire its UV Mapping and Project Mapping function which I can do wonders with them. They also works very well on applying patterns and textures on designs. Not to forget its control point(CV) editing function which is a powerful tool for inorganic or abstract structure. In fact, JewelCad was exclusively design to serves jewelry designer in order to minimize communication break down with customers. I have the experience of drafting a snake sculpture pendant which took me a month to communicate with client via email and phone. We will never make into conclusion without JewelCad photo rendering function. If I am not mistaken, I have summited at least five copies of drawing before he agreed. You never know how its feel when he finally nod his head. Should I said like the baby head coming out during delivery...
