Silver Valentine's Forget-Me-Not Flower Heart - Finishng touches

I finally got around to oxidising some of the silver jewellery I recently had 3D printed from Shapeways. Here are before and after photos of the results. The oxidisation process really brings out the detail and give it a lovely antique handmade look.

Oh, yes, much better, I think.

What programme do you model with?

I start the models in Lightwave3D then move to Zbrush to add all the detail and fun stuff

Hhm, pretty similar to me. I start in Rhino and then move to ZBrush.

What do you use to oxidize them? they look really cool

I used Liver of sulphur to oxidise the silver. It's very easy to use. Just add a few drop to some warm water and pop the jewellery in. The longer you leave it the darker it gets and then you have to give it a good polish with a silver polishing cloth. You can buy Liver of Sulphur from Amazon or most jewellery supply stores

Awesome thanks so much.. this would look cool for one of my skull rings.

You mislabeled the after pics. Both say "before".

ooops indeed I did. Apologies.
