Gold Leafy Ring


Ring, 22k Yellow Gold. David Neale.
The-curled-leaf-idea, an oldy, true, but a goody.
FAQ: Do you cast real plants?
A: No, I make the models from metal; the textures etc are all hand work. I think of them as 'sketches' of life...

( And...Gold is very tricky to photograph! Its rich lustre is so elusive... and I cant seem to get any depth of field with my macro. Time for a new camera?)
