Written for the person writing the specification
Most jewellery education online is written for the person buying a ring. These are written for the person buying a thousand of them — a product developer, a category manager, a sourcing lead who has to defend a supplier choice internally and write a specification that prices correctly the first time.
Each guide gives the practical answer in the opening paragraph and then explains what sits behind it. Where the honest answer is "it depends on your market", we say that instead of pretending there is a universal rule.
