Express your creativity :)

[Sparkles22]

There are a lot of creative people on here. I can tell from all the custom work that's been done. I saw in another thread someone made a beautiful pendant out of earrings

! I thought it might be fun to have that kind of thing all in one place!

I haven't really designed anything yet myself. But would really love some eye candy

Here are some sketches of my pendant made by Van Craeynest. On the left is the sketch I did; On the right is the one Van Craeynest sent me of the exalted design:

Here is a copy and a scan of the rough stamping:

And here is the finished product:

Thanks Metro! I only wish I had better sketching abilities. The pendant was just a 2d line drawing to which I added shading. I have tried over and over again to sketch rings and it is very hard to translate the depth and detail from my head to my pencil! I feel your pain...

Wow that is beautiful! Thank you for posting pictures! I bet is feels really good to have something you designed come to life!

Ya know Sparkles22, it does feel really good. I had goosebumps when I first saw the pendant in person...all of those ideas and thoughts of what I envisioned it would be in my head merged with the actual details of it and does make the pendant feel like it is a living thing (if that makes any sense

).

I should also add that I only really came up with the idea. The owner of the company who made the pendant oversaw the design and materials. He understands how to manipulate metal to get it to have a certain look to it.

Hopefully some other creative souls will bring some goodies along to this thread soon. I find the design process very fascinating!

These are the CADs for my new e-ring, I should be getting the regular pictures in a week or so.

I really wanted a solitaire with a little bit of sparkle. So I wound up with four WF melee on the basket. The prongs will be split claw, and the width will be 2.5mm. My center stone is a radiant.

it was kind of hard to see the diamonds, but I love ''em!

 

[Sparkles22]

Oh wow! That looks like it will be stunning!

And here is my sketch based on this.

We've just ordered it, so I don't know how long it's going to take. Even then, I don't think I'll be allowed to post it here...

It's because we recently changed our minds and decided to use one of the "unmentionable" stones...I love it, but I don't think it's allowed here, right? Thanks for the compliment!

 

[Sparkles22]

That looks really good! Why wouldn''t you be able to post your pictures here

Thank you CrownJewel! My skills are nothing compared to those of the artists that actually made the pendant though...

, so I cannot take all of the credit. I will contact the manufacturer and see if I can mention the people who specifically worked on my heart (lol, sounds like jewelry cardiology...). I have met them in person and they are all amazing!

Wow you guys are all so creative! I''m no artist at all. My sister got all that
