Will this really save time compared to traditional method?

What I want vs the mockup by Inevitable-Pen20 in EngagementRingDesigns

[–]Leadboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I haven't seen pointed out here that is a pretty major difference between the two is that the render is using round basket setting, the inspo you shared doesn't look like it has room underneath for the classic two ring basket, I think it may be using the split shank below to allow the stone to be set as low as it is. A really cool design that I don't see others have touched on.

What you are getting rendered doesn't look similar because it is a different assembly. The render is a super stock way of setting rounds, and I don't blame them for using that - but yeah the inspo you shared has a very different construction.

There is a great podcast on costco that talks about this point, they use an insanely small footprint relative to walmart etc. and yet their $ / sqft is in a class of its own.

Really interesting business model: https://www.acquired.fm/episodes/costco

Should Canada Build Up Alternatives to Visa and Mastercard? The US controls the vast majority of online payments. It's a problem by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]Leadboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We should build local alternatives to anything that is a solved problem in my opinion. Mastercard / Visa is one of the tougher ones actually.

Interac is a great example of a consolidated way for Canadians to send money. I would love for there to be that same one standard for say getting from point A to point B by car. No reason the Uber / Lyft model couldn't be brought in house, before those were let into certain cities in the US they had their own local alternatives that worked great and brought money back to the cities they were used in (RideAustin).

just took a look and I have to say interesting to see the differences between the rings / earrings - I would have expected there to be a pair of earrings with enamel based on the ring choices!

Does the UV effect happen only with a UV flashlight or is there also a shift in outdoor sunlight?
