mare,
We really like the overall concept for all of your submissions, we eliminated some, mostly to just clean up a bit. is it possible to make the sphere look like a pearl? with the same use of shading. and can you make it with a thin(ish) silver chain spooled at the base of the pearl, and flowing towards the name? kind of like a pearl necklace pendant that you just placed on the table. (i know not very discriptive, but if you can get even close , i should be able to give more direction...i can see it in my head )
