Pomegranate Dagger

A highly decorated dagger of Indian and Turkish origins which was later captured by the Russians in 1828 at Varna. The pistol grip style hilt is Mughal with the stone set in an Ottoman style. The hilt and scabbard mount are made out of jade, the flowers are represented with rubies and the leaves with emeralds.
It was an interesting experience trying to get the gems to react as they would in real life and I had literally every reflection option enabled in Marmoset. First time using subsurface scattering and it's a fun feature.
The main beauty renders have a mid-poly model which comes in at around 200,000 verts/380,000 tris. 3 4K texture sets.
Thanks to all the guys over at discord for advice and feedback.
