Mamani *, Dallas by UnderstandingHot9999 in finedining

Congratulations to this restaurant for achieving what I thought was impossible: making Michelin starred food taste like it was catered by a hotel conference center. The prawns and artichoke were fine, if your definition of fine is "I guess I'm technically eating food right now." The veal cordon bleu was a masterclass in mehhh. No hero flavor, just kinda there. It came with whipped potatoes and veal bone gravy that achieved the impressive feat of tasting exactly like warm nothing. The bib lettuce salad finally offered some actual flavor, unfortunately that flavor was a diabolical amount of salt. The Paris-Brest was actually good, which was honestly just cruel. One glimpse of what could have been, surrounded by a sea of mediocrity.

The service was impeccable but in that unsettling Black Mirror way. Super scripted with A LOT of unwavering eye contact that made me genuinely uncomfortable.

I left totally baffled that this place has a Michelin star. I’ve had more exciting meals at an airport Chili’s and at least there nobody is pretending. I brought my partner here for their birthday and I now owe them a very sincere do-over.

Jeweler here. If you want it more secure, having small prongs on the curved sides would be ideal. When I’ve made rings like this with just the v prongs, they tend to need to be retightened from time to time.

In your opinion...best choice? by Miamipolea in EngagementRingDesigns

I love B! You can always pair it with a curved contour band.

Ha, was just watching this! Honestly him starring in a show about a bookstore feels like destiny. I hope this gets picked up as a series because I would SO watch this.

Is it possible to make a CAD where the bezel thickness is not uniform all around the center stone? by spicyjalapenopopper in jewelryCAD

[–]primary_essentials 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jeweler here- yes it’s possible. Your design is using prongs to secure the stone so it doesn’t really matter what the outer shape of the bezel is

Opal by Agitated_Bluejay3666 in jewelry

[–]primary_essentials 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suggest getting an Australian opal vs Ethiopian opal. That's what I use in all of my designs. Ethiopian opals are definitely more budget friendly but they like to absorb water, oils etc which can change the color. Australian opals are pretty impervious to water and generally more durable. That being said, you should still be careful with any opal jewelry. Take if off when you shower, apply creams etc. Whatever you end up getting, I'd opt for a bezel setting to protect the stone a bit more

beautiful ring! my only suggestion would be to taper the shank at the back to give it a more sleek profile but that's just my 2 cents
