Jewellery

 I knew that I wanted some necklaces and jewellery pieces on my table and therefor some matching and non matching sets.

My fake diamond and jewel stone process:
These were quite easy and simple to create as they are hard surface designs.

This is the beginning of a diamond stone:

 

I then created the boarder:

I indented the front of each 'diamond' surrounding the stone and turned it into a ring.

This is the final UV'd model.

As I wanted it to be a set I also created a necklace to go with it:

The other necklace is a simple mirror on fake pearls:

Again halving the model so I don't do twice as much work. I also have constraints on these pearls so they flow and flow just like a necklace like this would in real time.

 I decided the mirror was too simple and I modified this before continuing with my UVs.

I was then able to texture my necklace

And here is a short video of it 'rigged' and falling.

and my final jewels collected.
