IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

  A corner of a jewellers' workshop. The tools, balance scales, tweezers, loupe, gold and diamonds are what you might find in a jewellery workshop.
With this image I've tried to show the transition from gold grain to a beautiful finished piece, and rough diamonds to glittering, perfectly engineered
gems which are also used in the jewellery design.
     

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED:

  Wings was used to model all that you see apart fom the background which is an HDRI of my actual, messy, workshop!  :-O

  Because my workshop is only 9'x 9', I couldn't get the angle I needed, so I lined-up all my models with how I think it should look.
   If you start feeling dizzy, it's because I've got it wrong! ;)

  Anyway, I ran out of time with this image, so it looks too clean, but I'm looking forward to carrying on with it.
