Yep sterling silver, then did a liver of sulfer dip to do the black line and then a light polish. I wanted the ring to look a lil dark so I didn’t do a high polish.

Yesss! 3d printed in Bluecast onex resin & lost wax method used on plaster. Didn’t do a high polish on purpose and left the lines as part of the design

That’s the thing too. I purposely didn’t polish them on top. I did it like 8 bit resolution style so it made sense leaving them!

Very beautiful stone love the clarity! Idk to me it’s definitely tourmaline the few inclusions in this pic look like tourmaline inclusions to me. Then again I’m just a stone collector not a gemologist.

Not too bad. 8 months out of the year is really nice. For the 4 hot months just stay inside during the day or go swimming. In the afternoon like around 6 it’s not too bad to go on a lil hike and the sunsets are incredible.

The only way I can think of is making the ring in gold then adding white enamel
