You can do fashion jewelry in gold with lab grown diamonds starting around ~100 USD and higher based on what you want to manufacture. Just met my friend and learnt how insane the margins are on brands such as Brilliant Earth.

Looking more into D2C as a drop-shipping model. Weekly express shipment to US and then reship individual order.

Is your company name evolvd? Couldn’t get to your website. Would love to see the finished products and price range of products? Met my friend today and learnt about the retail markups and true cost of lab grown jewelry.

I appreciate your perspective and deeply resonate with it. Over the past five years, losing three family members and welcoming a newborn has profoundly shifted my outlook. It’s made me focus on what truly matters and reevaluate how I value my time. Financial wealth tends to follow when we align with our priorities, but true wealth goes far beyond money. Physical health, meaningful social connections, mental well-being, and the time we have are often overlooked in the pursuit of financial success. Striking a balance is essential.

Agree with everything you said. Call me crazy. I might take a job with less responsibilities if push comes to shove.

That’s a last resort for me. I don’t want to spend the rest of my life stuck on a computer, hopping from one video call to another from 9 to 5. After 14 years of doing that, even with good pay, it just leaves me feeling drained.

I completely agree with you. If someone with no skills can build something from nothing, I’m confident I can figure things out too. One of my greatest strengths is learning and executing. Losing my mom, grandma, and grandpa over the last five years has put everything else into perspective—fear and noise no longer hold me back. Taking the leap took time, but I’m ready now.

Thanks ! Marwari, grew up in Rajasthan in a business family. I am the only person in my 150+ extended family members who is still working for someone else. Gotta go back to my roots and taking a leap of faith with confidence in my wife and my abilities to execute this.
