9. Join solids and remesh for a smoother organic look
Join the polysurfaces and Boolean Union the connected elements, upper and lower. Then run Quad Remesh from the SubD tab with Convert to SubD enabled and a target edge length around 2, matched to the model scale — the hard edges melt into a smooth, organic form.
10. Add interior gemstones and prongs
Bring the reference image forward, lock it, and place the interior gems with Pave from the Top view — larger stones over the dark center areas first, smaller ones filling the gaps. Add prongs at diameter 0.50 mm, overgirdle 0.20, undergirdle 0.20 and 0.30 extension: automatic placement first, manual fixes after, plus decorative false beads along the lower edges if you like them.
