A ring exchanged at engagement, traditionally featuring a center diamond elevated by prongs over a metal shank. The most concentrated convergence of metallurgy, gemology, and cultural ritual in the jewelry catalog — every material decision (metal, stone, setting) carries weight beyond the technical, and every technical decision constrains every other. The cultural reference is the Tiffany six-prong solitaire (1886); the contemporary range now includes lab-grown diamonds, colored sapphires, and emerald-cut variations as mainstream choices.
House vocabulary — terms ForMatter uses with intent.
Materials and processes for people who design and make things.
A local-first library of materials, processes, applications, and finishes — equal weight, citable everywhere, so a student can move from "what is this" toward "what's actually buildable here, now, by me." Part of the renato.design ecosystem — sibling of Plenum, Specimen, Ingenue, gesture, graf, and the Renato Rhino plug-ins. Form and matter, inseparable.
Half of teaching materials is teaching how the material is made into the thing. The standard subscription library was always light on that half. The wedge here isn't better samples or a prettier interface — it's treating Process as a peer entity, not a footnote.
