The Transcendental Shopping Experience

A wip. last updated 9/2/24

First entry: Hello, At the moment [I feel likeI am at Camp Blue Star and at the same time with some friends where we laughed so much that we cried and I will promise you that this state was not brought about by micro-dosing LSD-25.] because A. Litwin [really, truly Andy] is in the process of creating a Transcendental Shopping Experience. Now you might be wondering what is so funny about this? Well [now that I have stopped laughing- for the moment] if it were not for people in my life who love me ...I... I...cannot remember the last time... I...I... went shopping [and I have a pretty good memory]. So on a very basic level it is "out of this world" that this is what I am envisioning and working on. But on another level it is an implicit  [now at the moment I feel like David Bohm] unifying whole-diamonds in particular-that elegant, enduring styled jewelry is. 

If you [ have not already done so] please click on the green audio Icon [assuming you are at a place where you can listen to music] and you will hear, what I plan, that you will, in time, see. But I am hopeful that in the near future a gimps will be here, to see.

Second entry: I was just reading some about an aspect of astronomy-that relates to this page topic-because the wider subject is about perspective and perception-it "popped" into my mind, that, in fact, I do-sorry- recall the last time that I went shopping. It would have been to get eyeglasses.

 

Third entry: My wife's father would opinion to his wife:"Shop your closet." While the meaning of this comment can be interpreted in a number of ways, in this case, it is ironic. She always presented herself immaculately, but in no way opulent. In fact, such was effortless for her, as it was simply her. A master of Transcendental Shopping and thus the Experience. Mastering this art I imagine is found in 18 along 32. So let us start at this point:

 

There is extensive writing about the laws that govern the practices that occur in the temple [for good reason, but that is another story] and in doing so, paints a transcendental scene of activity. Described, are substantial items that are, by law, need to be-made of pure gold. But that is quite particular if one frames this as is what we would consider pure gold. It is quite soft. Irrespective of cost, one needs to seriously consider the feasibility of using gold that is above 18K in purity [24K being one way of expressing pure gold] in making jewelry because of the loss of properties that attribute to the likely lack of durability of jewelry crafted above 18K purity. So an object made with pure gold would be easily deform-able -dented for instance. Thus, how to reconcile this? Perhaps a plausible explanation is that what in biblical times was considered pure gold was actually an alloy of gold that would practically work. Still, immaterial, as to judge this explanation plausible or not, the law says pure gold is required.

If all of this is not quite fitting together, that is the point. The Transcendental Shopping Experience is, by definition, beyond what one normally experiences, and perhaps paradoxically, at first, at least, does not all fit together as a whole. [That other David again.]

Just to let you know, currently, the software's capabilities are ahead of the computer's hardware ability to make, virtually tangible, what the software has the potential to do. So patience, please. And "virtually tangible" is not an oxymoron- at least in this context.

Fourth entry: At the moment Andy is feeling like "The Little Red Hen".

Andy would have to look up this story to see if was written and or interpreted as a critique of Socialism. Irrespective, her miraculously being able to plant, grow, harvest, mill, kneed the dough and then bake it into bread without upper extremities is starting to look like similar is needed with respect to what A. Litwin would like to and knows can be done; with great pleasure, give you a Transcendental Shopping Experience and in the process, offer you jewelry that is an any, always, and for all time, is in the now, in this moment and the next and the one just gone by. 

Progress is being made though. Just not nearly as quickly as once was thought. Just a guess, but a reason for the slower than expected development pace is that the computer power that is needed to visualize jewelry like never before, is focused on a different application. Namely AI - Artificial Intelligence systems. Both utilize what Computer Scientists classify as Parallel Processing computer capabilities.

What is driving Casey's train is a Trillion dollar + market capitalization. The  lyrics to the above, alluded to, song and the the one referenced below, not withstanding, these systems are far far far away form being able to inference and to be able to be or even close to being able to think, be intelligent [ have intelligence] ug. Reminds me of the marketing term [ that is what it truly, at best is- a marketing term] "multitasking." [Seems wise to constrain the use of the communication specialty of propaganda to Socialism and it's cousins.]

So a big miss, Andy thought what was needed would be here by now and it is turning out that maybe it will be here in 2025. The winds will eventually shift. What is being developed now, is needed / necessary but hardly enough / sufficient. To paraphrase, to be parenthetical;  The impending demise of human intellectual superiority is greatly exaggerated. Wonder why so many super smart folks say this demise is near? Andy feels like Jimmy Hendrix at this moment: "... One cannot believe everything one sees or hears, now can you? ..." But the Ark is afloat.

 Fifth entry:

What else could the Home of the Transcendental Shopping Experience do beside name the above shown first Transcendental Shopping Experience collection anything else besides: "The Beyond Collection".

An Ensemble, especially for the Bart among us [you know who you are]. Found only here, so as to be only for you.

Layer the 18 inch and 22 inch necklaces along with the bracelet [that for a sleek and alluring look] is worn on the non-dominate wrist. Each of these jewelry pieces is adorned with a Star Gate Toggle clasp. Subtle drop earrings from another place and time finishes this elegant beyond measure, and for all time; look.

The videos below are of the Beyond Collection  ensemble. But the above video is pretty worthy of a Brat Beyond Brat itself.

The one of the drop earring is Andy's favorite because it is so Brat. The one showing the Star-Gate Toggle clasp is a close second because it captures the Beyond nicely.

Sixth entry: video of the Beyond Collection Earring in Sterling Silver:

 

The plan is that the Beyond Collection will first be available in Sterling Silver. The post on the earrings will be in a hypoallergenic metal. Then available in 18K Rose and Yellow Gold.

For White Gold, a consideration is with regard to the bracelet and Rhodium plating. While A. Litwin has had excellent results using Rhodium plating for White Gold pendent and ring use, the use of this plating with the Beyond Collection Bracelet, just might be somewhat problematic depending on the conditions, frequency and duration with which it is worn. Rhodium does ware off but the time frame in which this happens, the extent and how this ware effects the look of the jewelry can be difficult to predict. This is all underscored by the wonderful, enchanting geometry of the Beyond Collection.

Further, the Beyond Collection in Sterling Silver has an elegance to it that enables a natural versatility to wearing these pieces for daily, formal and casual  settings as will the pieces done in Rose or Yellow Gold. While the Beyond Collection done in White gold will have a unique, marvelous look, A. Litwin would first like to evaluate this matter more. For one, a major reason is that we want you to wear all of our jewelry with enjoyment and no more than easy prudent  stewardship of it.
