mostly done with shadowbox, snake hook, and transpose
hope you all like it 
Helloļ¼I come from China, the zoomus, and glad to meet you!!! Do you use the machine turned what is the mould fabrication? I want to know about some turn mould related to the material? Hope you provide the ~!!! Thank you!
i hope im reading this right.
i use protowax to fabricate the inital waxes which are cast in silver and i then use a Vulcanizing rubber for the moulds i take off that master. ill try and get a picture.
hope that helps 
Hi Zoomus! Watch this and you may find a couple on youtube!
well today was a very interesting day. I cast about 15 rings today was a fantastic experience and something Iām trying to learn.
the process is this I made a tree for casting which is a long bit of wax which you melt the wax models on. This is then put it in a plaster mould which was vacuumed to prevent casting bubbles.
<O:p</O:p<O:p</O:pthe mould was then cooked to 700 degrees to get the wax out. then the mould is put in a centrifuge with a crucible of molten silver. the centrifuge flicks the metal into mould and tadarā¦ <O:pall very scary for some one who hasnāt done it before. <O:pand here are the picks of the finished things<O:p</O:p
<O:p</O:pI cant wait to see how these look when finished. So whats the next step now you have the tree, i mean, right now they look pretty ugly looking in that state though i understand this is part of the workflow.
Also, how accessible is the physical workflow to someone who wants to reproduce Z sculpt in this way without prior experience of working with metal.
Thanks
Dave.
ummā¦ well you can find companys that will do all the work for you from inital master making all the way through to a short runā¦
but because they are doing most of the physical work their prices are very high.
although price verses quality if you tryed to do it our self can be worth it if you going to do a run of 10+ but for one offs its more worth it to ask some one like me who has the contacts and could get it made for you cheeply
so its up to you.
but there are companys who will do the lot for you
Well itās taken months of work, but Iām finally ready tostart selling my jewellery. So get your selves onto my website and see what I haveavailable. All products come in a presentation box so they make a perfect giftfor your self or a loved oneā¦

thanks again for all the support guys. couldnāt of done it without you 
Good luck with the shop - look forward to seeing more works!
Tadarā¦ the satrt of my stone set ring collection. losely based on a tree stump in my garden. more photos to follow once i get it made
I have just finished up a jewellers apprenticeship here in British Columbia, Canada and am amazed at the work you are doing. Iām the same age as you and am going to school next year for 3 years to refine my skills. Iāve been spending lots of time learning zbrush and trying to see ways it can be used in jewellery. Itās so nice to see what iāve planned actually working in a practical sense! A big help you may find is a program called Gemvision Matrix. You can build basic - intermediate rings within it and it has all the presets for different gems and settings. As an added bonus itās based on rhino and exports to STL, so the possibilities between making settings for stones in that, and modelling in ZBrush are ENDLESS! Keep posting! I really like seeing what youāre doing
thanks for the advice. i have looked at gemvision before and it maybe somthing i look into getting as i progress (have more cash)
ill be intrested to see what you do with Zbrush aproaching it from a jewellery perspective rather than a CGI artists perspective. so do let us know when you start posting your work.
yours c4th
Some cool stuff man.
Making this kind of stuff is no easy task and your doing very well. I am amazed at the printing results as well.
hehe thanks for the post.
hopefuly soon ill be posting up more pieces as they become finished as im working on ranges for the trade show ill be doing in september.
list is about 45 pieces long >.<
so watch this space
tadar. the first few of the pieces im making for the show. love the texture i put into the wolf which i think will come out well in the metal. the other 2 are much more conventional but still have that air of zbrush quality to them.
hope you all like them
The wolf head looks very good and it flows into the ring nicely.

here we are. a little test piece. its a pendant based on a dress by alexander mcqueen. could be somthing intresting to add to the range, definatly somthing girls would likeā¦
i guessā¦ idk im relativly new to this whole fasion thing. its like trying to understand C++ it just makes my brain ache.
any way. hope you all like it
I really like the āTree Stumpā Ring man! Thats nice. Would you be putting a real stone in there or is it part of your printing process and be the same material as the rest of the ring?
I like this one man. Very Art Nouveau.
@clintus@ yea i will be taking that stone out before i send it off for printing and puttin in a real stone (probably a diamond) in.
that right ill be doing a few of to form a 2 or 4 seasion set
winter - white gold and diamond
summer- yellow gold and not sure on the stone maybe ruby
spring and autom i havnt realy looked at yet, but probably autum would be red gold. maybe spring with an alloy of yellow and white gold.
watch this space for photos.
