What are the most mechanically interesting/well designed watches? Is anything with a quartz crystal setup going to be more accurate than a pure mechanical timepiece? Is it true that many of the fancy names in the industry put more money into advertising than timekeeping quality? *EDIT* That was a not-very jewelery related question, so I'll add another in: What do you think are some interesting metals used in jewelery design today? I've seen titanium for mens' stuff, which I think is a bit silly (neh, it's not jewelery it's super strong and masculine), and there are the classic precious metals mentioned in your OP, but what about rarer metals like Palladium and stuff? What, if anything are jewelers doing to stand out from the competition? StopShootingMe fucked around with this message at 10:50 on Jul 27, 2010 |

They might worry about inhaling the dust  Sounds like a cool piece of jewelry though.

Nice looking ring, man Is your fiance (I hope?) into science, because that ring represents a lot of cool engineering.

Oh God, I strayed into GBS and started reading this thread, which concerns the theft of some lab created diamonds derived from human remains. Long story short, a family lost their kid, they had his ashes sent overseas to be used to make synthetic diamonds, which were then stolen in transit back to Australia. Don't read the thread if you can't handle the posting quality in a bad GBS thread  Would anyone here have a family member's ashes processed into a diamond? It makes more sense to me than an expensive burial, so long as the resulting stones are good.

Silly Hippie posted:Anyone have suggestions for engagement ring styles that are good for someone with teeny fingers (size 4, specifically)? My fingers are so weirdly small that anything with side stones or really any kind of detail has to have a very small center stone or it will, you know, not actually fit on the surface area available. Photo, please. What is a size four finger?
