John's Cross

As John Rayner didn't have time to create a vector version of his jewellery photo used for his Christmas Card, I hand traced a wire frame version of it for him.

Your mission, (should you choose to accept it), is to create a fully rendered version of John's photograph using the wire frame .xar version as your starting point.

You may choose to fully render the project within Xara Xtreme or export it for further work in a graphics program of your choice.

Silver and Saphire in E3. I separated the fill and reduced the transparency. Then made a blend from the fill in XXP.

A variation on St. John's cross, with a Christmas ornament in the back.

Just love molucca's version and angelize "bling."

Here's a different view of mine with some HDRI lighting. If I can post it, it failed upload earlier.
