I knew when creating this asset that it was going to be like 2 objects in 1 since I wanted it to be both necklace and ring using the premise that the ring was damaged in battle so its now attached to a necklace so he can keep it on him.

I used a torus to get the basic ring shape before I started deleting polygons to start designing the whole ring since I was just doing a design from scratch and the only thing I wanted was a gem on top and so I flattened the top part of the ring to achieve this.

I kept cutting wholes in the torus and patching them back up to create a cap inside the ring however with the bottom I deleted a bunch of extra ones to insinuate damage which I later then deleted even more.

for the gem its just a basic sphere with extruded parts of the ring that I wrapped around that sphere so that it looks like the gem can never be removed.

as for the necklace part of this I made a bunch of torus’s and linked them together and I’m glad maya can copy paste an object and remember the rotation as that helped to make the actual necklace part of this asset.

Some inspiration for the gemstone section was taken from this picture I found of a actual ring like this (A moonstone ring designed to resemble Merlin’s talisman, meaning this is a pretty powerful piece of j… | Wedding rings unique, Unique engagement rings, Unique rings, 2021)

As you can see in the textured version its a lot more damaged as the original amount of damage you could still technically wear the ring so why put it on a necklace.

The textured used are the same metals as previously used as well as the gemstone but instead of green and red this one is blue.
