Valentine’s day a couple years ago I needed a gift and wanted to try making something myself. My idea was to use one generic cad model to create all of the pieces. While a well made parametric cad model is a thing of beauty not everyone want to receive one as a gift. So I had to actually make it. I like the way a hexagon gives a lot of freedom with shapes and contours; the same pattern could work for a ring, bracelet, and a necklace. The ring and the bracelet were straight forward to design but the necklace was much trickier as the ultimate bend profile was pretty funky. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/wazer/original/1X/db7826525dd79917bf5908868ab9954e9cca4ca9.png) I used blanked out cells to add a bit of visual variety to make things a bit less boring. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/wazer/original/1X/20cef02ca58962bd3a9467c1a6e3cda9408f216c.png) I took the removal of cells to a bit of an extreme with the necklace, by fully removing cells. This also allows me to create direction in which the material will prefer to bend. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/wazer/original/1X/72b62245fb617b0da18e1f3e92c0975b5da0a1a0.png) Once everything was finished I polished it all up using a palm sander. I think everything tuned out pretty well and made for a well matched set. ![image (1)](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/wazer/original/1X/eb74e4dba6bad9c7dedc4b0b059bb0f17ea73285.jpeg) ![unnamed (11)](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/wazer/original/1X/48b9c043d93ca52a1b923ce983323d87b8dc640c.jpeg) ---

Thanks for sharing @cmoore! What was the most difficult piece of this project? Also, how was the ring and necklace pressed/formed? It looks remarkably smooth and gradual. You did a fantastic job in the post-process. ---

Is that Brass or Titanium? If it’s brass, what were your settings? ---

Thanks all, I used brass as I find it polishes up really easily and ends up with a nice color. I think I used a piece of pipe that was around as a form and then used a body work hammer and a block of wood to work it into shape. @goodkarmachicken I was lazy and just used the copper settings for the same thickness and then increased then just cut speed by using the coarse setting. Brass cuts a little easier than copper so this yielded a fine/medium results.
