I decided to experiment with adding organic props to jewelry renders. This is a bit surreal as the scale of the items don't match. It's a look I've seen in advertising and I wanted to try it.

The curved bamboo stick is made by lofting through a series of circles arranged on a curve.

The leaves are made by drawing a "bird wings" profile, duplicating the profile several times at various widths and heights, then lofting through them to produce a surface. Then I made an outline in the shape of a leaf and used it as a cookie cutter to punch out my shape.

The rock is a flattened sphere with the fissure knocked out with a free-form cutting line.

Rendered in KeyShot.

Hi Ed, very cool to show jewelry with props, I think it makes it more interesting viewing instead of just another ring.
As you said about the scale, I know what you mean but for me it works. Some more experimentation maybe.

Cheers and thanks for sharing.
