I woke up to a message from @Ferdzee casually saying, "Oh, by the way, your grid now supports PBR." Wait, WHAT? PBR? You mean DG has PBR now? Yep! Shiny, beautiful gold—Yay! Over time, I'll be updating all my jewelry. It’ll take a while, but the future is looking golden and brilliant! Dreamgrid 5.9 is PBR! Time to update your FS viewers people :) Thank you @Ferdzee you are my Hero!! Yayy

Created a Harvest Ring for those who celebrate harvest and being thankful. Grape clusters and rose leaves, diamond solitaire, in center of the store where I have the PBR jewelry. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

When creating my metal for jewelry I found @FredFerderix Outworldz Metal Plates, these give the best effects on metal wow. These work well with ceilings too https://outworldz.com/cgi/free-seamless-textures.plx?c=Met...
(this is not PBR) just using Binn-Phong

We're testing PBR textures, and the results are stunning! This ring, originally created in Second Life, showcases Opensim's full PBR support, bringing every detail to life. Interestingly, when I upload my jewelry to Second Life, the scale appears much larger, but in Opensim, it matches the exact size I designed. This ring was one of my first creations and earned me an Avi Choice nomination for Best New Jewelry Store in SL! I had to nano that ring though because of the huge scale and would not reduce down to the SL Avatar. In opensim it has worked beautifully thanks to @FerdFrederix~ PBR is in its earliest stages but I am loving the results so far. This will be in the store soon. 💍💗 This image is inworld with Sunrise lighting. Lighting affects the color of the metal if the sky is red orange sunset the gold will be red, Fred pointed this out to me yesterday, so a bright mid day you will see the brightest results. I have fun playing with the sky to see what the metal will look like each sky it looks different. Fred's ring compared to mine though that he textured is beyond beautiful, he made the diamond glossy, and translucent and it is just beautiful, so gemstones can be transparent with a tint of color, so many options and we are having fun! All this is coming soon...

I had some time to play with PBR thank you @FerdFrederix for suggesting I try it, and as you can see it makes the jewelry look so much better!! Nice! But that means I have my work cut out for me, I have lots of jewelry to update. I will have a PBR section at the store, keeping the old classic textures because not all grids support PBR, this is the first piece I will get it in the store today sometime, Celtic Knot Picture Locket.

I added a few new bracelets to the Monentes Jewelry store, you will find them in the center of the store near the Classic Closet entrance. Thank you Melanie for the inspiration 💗 yes, I love creating adding more as we speak! Please stop by anytime 🤗

Jewelry is a reflection of your personality, and many of the designs have been inspired by your suggestions. I've received touching requests for Journal Lockets, Grandmother's rings, and rings that evoke memories of "Mom." Thank you for these heartfelt ideas. When time allows, I love the challenge of creating something new. Thank you for the inspiration and continued support. 💕

I have various circlets and tiaras created at the back of the store by the wedding rings. I was asked to create these when I first started creating jewelry and have loved them ever since; these are always so fun to create and look pretty when worn. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

I say this every New Year, it is the first day of a 365-day Novel, let's write a good one! As I close the chapter on this one, thank you to all those friends who stopped by and inspired me to create, I love you!

In the enchanting realm of jewelry creation, the transformative journey from an initial drawing to a tangible masterpiece is a captivating process. As the designer, you breathe life into your vision through the meticulous use of curves, extruding techniques, and a diverse array of shapes. When designing your piece think of the different shapes and curves. Font Dingbats can be used in jewelry design too, use your imagination!
