Hi team!
I decided to revisit my collection of Southwestern style bracelets in RC build .420. I wanted to play more with the ground plane and lighting.
I added a very slight warming colorizer to the HDR from my earlier attempts.
The ground plane is now Accurate Zinc, with the Anodizing enabled, Film Refractive Index at 1.648. There's a stacked bump set, of wavy and asphalt.
The metals are all Accurate Gold and Silver, no tweaks.
The two inlay bracelets at the top are Procedural Turquoise, with a very thin offset layer of solid glass for reflection. The lapis and other turquoise are JPG's, also with a glass offset. The coral and jet are hard plastic.
Rendered using the Jewelry option, with caustics disabled, and cooked for 30 minutes on 30 cores. I was getting hot spots when Caustics was enabled.
KS7 blows my mind!

Nice work. Way to use a handful of new features!
