I tried something else. Using Sam Alfano transfer wax I have draw the design under the microscope with a H9 pencil and then engraved it.
I still needs to shade it, that is for later.

As it is a ring I tried to make a rotating image of it.
Comments are welcome

Very well executed Arnaud.
Tell us, what are the dimensions?
Did you turn the ring from a solid?
I work on a nickel mine and refinery in the aussie desert and we use 16mm Ti nuts or Ti welding rods to make rings. When I get my next ring completed Ill post.

This Ti ring I just bought one, Mostly I make them myself by forming a Ti plate and then welding it.

Arnaud,

Really nice work! Do you have any closeups of the edge work? I can't make it out from these shots. Nice job on the animated gif! Photoshop??

Arnaud friend:

The titanium engraving looks very good, I like the design, although I would not have left a few holes and hope to see it done with the shading.
I am with several engraving projects in titanium, but with my technique of "etching". Titanium is very suitable for engraving, it's just a personal opinion.

Thanks for showing friend Arnaud work.:beerchug::beerchug:

Amigo Arnaud :

Ese grabado en titanio se ve muy bien , me agrada el diseño , aunque yo no hubiera dejado algunos huecos ; espero verlo terminado con el sombreado .
Yo estoy con varios proyectos de grabado en titanio , pero con mi técnica del " aguafuerte " . El titanio es muy adecuado para grabar , es simplemente una opinión personal .

Gracias amigo Arnaud por mostrar el trabajo .

The few Ti rings I've made (none engraved) were turned from solid bar stock.
Scrap round stock can be had pretty cheep.

Thank you for your comment Antonio my friend,
indeed there are some holes in the design, but I think one can't see the whole design at the same time, it does not mather that much.
I will show the final stage when I have shaded it.
