This first illustration is a ZSphere model with 2 density adaptive skin…
Here’s the finished piece…Rendered in LW.
This is the first of a series of ‘Surrealistic Jewels’ I’m working on…
I think it demonstrates how well ZBrush and LightWave play together, and I hope you guys enjoy it…!

Excellent use of the Zspheres. If one didn’t know better, one would think you spent time around jewelry and such. 
Love the final render.
What a comeback!!! Gorgeous ring setting… and the blood red ruby. Looks like you have been experimenting with new toys. Impressive!
Its good to see you back. 
Excellent! as one of the members who dabbles in jewelry this is well done. I am pleased that you posted this image Stonecutter as it opens up a whole new unexployed area in which ZBrush can be used.
Thanks for sharing

SC, that gold looks delicious, and the way the scene is staged is oddly humorous
