Hello! 
My name is Thoại and I'm new to this community so I'd love to greet all of you,.
I was offered to make this ring in Zbrush, but the thing is that after so many failed attempts, I have no idea where to begin and got lost. I really would love to hear your opinion and your approach, thank you

I've tried to bend an actual 3d feather first but the ends of the 2 parts of the feather just don't really meet each other like how this ring looks like so I believe that I'd have to try a different way more than using Bend Arc.
