"Frazetta and in a lot of his images he uses a lot of elaborate jewelry items, crowns, bracelets, armbands, etc."

The question for content providers is.. How big, complex, ornate can we get (translation how many poly's) before it starts dragging peoples computers to a screeching halt? I've done several jewelry bits and dither like crazy about being able to add just a bit more detail.  I'd love to do more complex jewelry. I did the earing in my avatar but it shows the poly count can creep up there really fast.
