How to create perfect Jewelry shader

[martin lisen]

Hello, 

I need to create different gold shader (yellow, white, pink)  and diamond shader with a real High high high quality render. It should be the same than a photo.

Where can I found some informations  about material properties, not only the IOR.

Have you checked out the Shader Forge course? They go step by step with every material there, including both gold and crystals, so this is possibly what you’re going for. Not sure if it’d sate your desire for photorealism but it could definitely point you in the right direction.

@thecabbagedetective  Yes, but I need to create something like that :

@martinlisen Hmm, whilst these videos are quite a bit old maybe they can point you in the right direction instead? The result looks good but not 100% convincing so maybe your personal skill could cover the gap?

@thecabbagedetective Thank’s

@martinlisen The crystals and ice tutorials should help with the texturing, but for the shading itself I would recommend trying one of these two from the market:

I’m always a fan of building things ourselves instead of buying pre-made assets, but in this case Eric and Jim go way above and beyond what’s easy to do in Cycles. Specifically, they have a crazily complex setup to get rid of the black spots which plague refraction shaders:
