Initial ideas and sketch

I've been thinking about how these rings are going to look, I want them to look both stylish and realistic, by realistic I mean both visually and able to be created physically. I have sketched up a few designs, here they are below.


I will discuss the designs from left to right, top to bottom. Starting with the top left this is a simple winged design that would have a large central stone with two teardrop gems at each end. Once it is modelled I will play around with the metal and gem types. That might be the case for a lot of these designs.

The next design has a bold geometric feel, it is probably more of a ring for men, I was thinking of a rose gold colour for the ring with rubies for the gems.

The spiral design will also curve around the finger slightly. I think will be a bright yellow gold colour with emeralds for the gems.

The next ring is a little strange and sort of a concept design, it is an upwards facing dish the has a large diamond in the middle. The metal would be a silvery colour or possibly platinum.

The multistory type ring is inspired by Aztec pyramids, not sure what types of gems to use, maybe a colourful mix but the metal will definitely be a bright gold.

The tri-corner design I'm thinking would have an alien feel with amethyst for the gems and a bluish type metal.

The smiley face one is a bit of fun, the paradox would be the commonality of the image combined with the ridiculously expensive materials used to create it. the black parts will be a material like polished ebony, the face would be yellow gold mounted on a platinum ring.

The last one is a strange one. It would function as button pusher and general interface for the world. I would make it out of titanium, it would have slight ridges on the face to avoid slipping.

I may not create all of these, I will have a good think about it and maybe go with five of these designs for this project. Once that is done I will model them in Blender and show the results before I start texturing.
