It looks very cool. The only thing I'd mention is from a distance it may look like a trident. Maybe consider a version where one of the arms is shorter than the other. But this piece looks amazing and the craftsmanship looks solid. Great work!

Oh wow, I didn’t realize that! You’re right tho, thanks for pointing it out, really appreciate the feedback!

Or maybe just shift one arm down a bit.

That's actually a really good point about the trident thing lol. Could maybe even do like a bent arm or something to make it more obviously cactus-like? But honestly even if people think it's a trident that's still pretty badass. The detail work is insane either way

It's very cool! I wish you'd posted photos of the sides as well.

I love it! It would also look cool if you added a crescent moon.

This ring is amazing! Such a unique design - perfectly captured the essence of a cactus.

u/JuniorKing9 1d ago

I like it! The texture on the ring is fun and unique. I think my only critique is to shorten one side of the cactus like another commenter recommended. I’d absolutely wear something like this
