Where Do I Buy 3D Models of Jewellery Findings ? Jewellery Findings are things like finger rings without any gemstone, metal clasps that attach the two ends of a chain on a necklace or bracelett, the metal part of the earrings that attach the decorative part to your ear.
Thanks!

I tried to search for it on the web, but still don't know what you are after.
How about showing some images?
You might be able to create your own by editing existing jewelry with the geometry editor tool.
^^ agreed. I don't think there's much market for spare parts. The good news is, if you're just looking for bips and bops, there are some old-generation jewelry sets that are quite cheap. Delete the parts you don't want, throw a better shader at it, and you're good to go.
If you're new to Geometry Editor, this video might help:

I know I was intimidated by the whole thing to begin with, but once I got the hang of it (very easy, and I'm not great with these things) it opened up a whole new world of possibilities. I stopped looking for props that matched exactly what I wanted (often non-existant) and switched to looking for things that had parts I could use. For example, I needed a decorative shelf but couldn't find one. I wound up removing most of the polygons from a piece of furniture in the ROG hobbit hole set and it worked perfectly for what I needed!
Good luck!
A very long time ago I downloaded such findings as freebies from sharecg. If I remember correctly, they were models for Poser, but that doesn't matter. Unfortunately, I can't remember who made them, but if they're still there, I'm sure you'll find them.
