  • Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong Shares the Art and Craft Behind Its Diamond Ring Collections

    Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong Shares the Art and Craft Behind Its Diamond Ring Collections

    HONG KONG, HK – November 18, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong announces an in-depth overview of the cultural, structural, and craftsmanship foundations guiding the development of its 鑽石戒指 (diamond ring) collections. The brand has spent decades refining techniques and design philosophies that focus on symbolism, technical precision, and long-term durability. This announcement aims to provide a clear perspective on how the company interprets diamond ring artistry, the production methods behind each piece, and the traditional values that continue to influence its approach within Hong Kong.

    The company states that its commitment to clarity and craftsmanship begins with the belief that a diamond ring represents a lasting symbol rather than a decorative object. This principle forms the basis of the brand’s design and production structure. Each ring is conceptualized through detailed sketches, followed by modelling processes that allow artisans to evaluate proportions, strength, and overall visual balance. Every stage, including shaping, setting, polishing, and evaluating, is carried out with the intention of supporting both conceptual meaning and long-term structural stability.

    Ginza Diamond Shiraishi 鑽石戒指 (diamond ring)

    Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong explains that its 銀座白石鑽石戒指 (Ginza Diamond Shiraishi diamond ring) designs are created through an approach that blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with contemporary modelling accuracy, ensuring that each ring reflects both symbolic depth and technical refinement. This guiding framework shapes how the brand balances form, structure, and the interaction between metalwork and gemstones.

    Design principles from Japanese traditions play a significant role in shaping each ring’s structure and appearance. Many diamond ring designs integrate smooth curvature, subtle symmetry, and elements that suggest movement or progression. These details resonate with themes of continuity and refined simplicity. They are introduced to communicate the understated qualities valued in traditional Japanese aesthetics, where form and purpose must align naturally.

    The company highlights that material selection serves as a crucial foundation for creating its diamond rings. Platinum is frequently chosen due to its density, stability, and resistance to distortion. These characteristics support consistent long-term wear and structural reliability. Gold in various tones is also crafted for designs requiring specific visual interpretations or personal preferences. Regardless of the material selected, each piece undergoes multiple stages of inspection to confirm uniformity and structural accuracy.

    The crafting process continues through a sequence of specialised steps. After initial modelling, artisans refine each form through shaping, smoothing, and texturing. Surfaces are examined under magnification to ensure that angles, prongs, and structural points meet internal quality benchmarks. Rings containing diamonds are handed to stone setters who evaluate the optimal setting structure based on the stone’s size, shape, and cut. Each diamond is secured using techniques designed to support durability, clarity, and aesthetic harmony.

    Diamond selection follows internationally recognised assessment standards that include cut quality, clarity, internal structure, symmetry, and light performance. The company notes that emphasis is placed on the stone’s optical behaviour and structural consistency rather than size alone. Each diamond is observed under controlled conditions to evaluate its internal characteristics and to ensure compatibility with the intended ring structure.

    Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong also underscores the importance of customization in creating meaningful diamond rings. Many couples seek features that represent personal experiences or shared milestones. The brand supports this through various customization options that may include adjusting band curvature, engraving dates or initials, modifying ring width, or selecting alternative stone arrangements. Semi-order and bespoke pathways are available for clients who prefer deeper involvement in the design structure from the early sketch stage to final refinement.

    Long-term wearability remains a central consideration in the company’s approach. Diamond rings are intended to accompany individuals during daily routines across many years, making maintenance essential. The company emphasises the importance of periodic inspections, professional cleaning, and size adjustments to maintain structural balance and comfort. Each ring is created with this extended timeline in mind, ensuring that its form remains as stable and consistent as possible.

    Within Hong Kong, the brand maintains an environment where individuals can examine diamond ring options through structured information rather than persuasive methods. Staff members explain metal properties, diamond evaluation factors, structural components, and origin points of design concepts. The environment is intended to support thoughtful and informed review without pressure, aligning with the brand’s commitment to clarity and education.

    The influence of Japanese craftsmanship remains a defining characteristic of the company’s identity. Techniques rooted in discipline, precision, and restraint guide how each ring is developed. Artisans follow a structured approach in which repetition of technique, careful observation, and respect for materials contribute to the final result. This ensures that each diamond ring reflects qualities associated with traditional Japanese artistry, including refinement, balance, and continuity.

    Through this announcement, Ginza Diamond Shiraishi Hong Kong reinforces its dedication to maintaining the traditions and technical standards that shape its 鑽石戒指 (diamond ring) collections. Each ring represents a combination of symbolic meaning, artisanal technique, structural consistency, and long-term consideration. The brand’s ongoing work continues to reflect a philosophy that values precision, purpose, and the cultural significance associated with jewellery designed for important life milestones.

    The company states that it will continue sharing insight into its craftsmanship principles as it develops its presence within Hong Kong’s bridal and fine jewellery landscape. Its objective is to preserve the values that have defined its approach since its early origins while supporting evolving expectations for clarity, durability, and design structure.

  • Do It Fat, a New Book Urging Women to Separate their Worth From their Waistline and Stop Delaying their Dreams

    PHOENIX, AZ / ACCESS Newswire / November 18, 2025 / As discussions around body image, representation, and professional visibility intensify, Do It Fat arrives at a pivotal cultural moment. Brand strategist and CEO Sara Chambers tackles a striking disconnect many women experience: the belief that their worth is tied to their waistline and how these negative thoughts hold them back from stepping fully into their power.

    The book delivers cultural critique, personal narrative, and actionable reflection, inviting readers to ask: Why have I measured my worth in pounds and inches? Already making waves, Do It Fat has reached #1 in Feminist Theory and Self-Help for Eating Disorders & Body Image Issues, and #2 in Social Sciences, cementing its relevance and resonance.

    “Women are delaying major life opportunities, careers, public visibility, and events, because of how they feel about their body,” Chambers explains.

    The fall off in opportunity is more than anecdotal: unexplored promotion, muted voices, and silenced ambition are all part of the cost of internalized body shame. Chambers argues that too many women delay career moves, silence ideas, or opt out of opportunities, not due to a lack of capability, but due to how they feel about their bodies. Chambers writes, “The real cost of body shame isn’t that it shrinks our bodies. It shrinks our lives.”

    Bestselling book Do It Fat. Book cover and creative direction by Elly & Nora.

    A 2024 study recently found that 37.7 percent of females reported significant body-image dissatisfaction, compared to 24 percent of males, and more than half of respondents with a higher body mass index reported elevated dissatisfaction.These findings highlight the ways weight and appearance shape women’s self-perception, ambition, and visibility.

    With more than two decades of helping entrepreneurs clarify their message and own their space, Chambers is uniquely positioned to bridge branding and body politics. Liz Brinkman, founder of On the Brink Nutrition, describes the book as “a bold, unapologetic celebration of bodies that challenges the myths and stigma so many of us carry.”

    Author Sara Chambers, beautifully photographed by Lisa Whalen.

    At the core of Do It Fat lies a powerful idea: showing up in the body you have today is an act of rebellion. The book explores how diet culture, the male gaze, and beauty standards have become unseen barriers to leadership, forcing women to question not just how they look, but whether they are “allowed” to lead.

    Do It Fat is more than a personal memoir or feel-good self-help book. As Dr. Lisa Nichole Folden notes, it “leans into the ‘both’ and the ‘and’ of body image, diet culture, and beauty standards … Sara’s work is raw, unfiltered, based on both lived experience and pertinent research.”

    Readers also receive tools, including reflection prompts, exercises in visibility and self-trust, and guidance for decoupling ambition from body size. It offers a roadmap for women to reclaim their voice, take up space, and stop shrinking, literally and figuratively.

    And the timing couldn’t be more urgent. Data shows that negative body image correlates with lowered self-esteem and self-efficacy, both of which are tightly linked to career and leadership outcomes.At the same time, social media and emerging narratives around weight-loss drugs and fix-it-bodies are contributing to a polarized cultural moment. Do It Fat intervenes in that discourse, offering instead a message of presence, agency, and autonomy: You don’t need to shrink to matter.

    Do It Fat launches today, November 18, 2025, with first-week proceeds benefiting The Body Positive, a nonprofit dedicated to body trust and empowerment.

  • Insulation Contractor Extends Service Coverage to Additional Areas

    Insulation Contractor Extends Service Coverage to Additional Areas

    SEATTLE, WA – November 18, 2025 – PRESSADVANTAGE –

    Cascadia Spray Foam Insulation has announced the expansion of its spray foam insulation services in Seattle, Washington. The Seattle-based company now provides insulation installation for residential and commercial properties across an extended service territory. The expansion comes as property owners in the Pacific Northwest region seek energy-efficient solutions for building performance.

    Spray foam insulation, available as open-cell or closed-cell formulations, is a liquid polymer that expands and hardens to form an insulating barrier. Open-cell foam is lighter and ideal for interior spaces and soundproofing, while closed-cell foam is denser, providing both insulation and structural support. In the Pacific Northwest, where moderate temperatures, high humidity, and heavy rainfall, Seattle averages 37 inches annually, making moisture control essential, choosing the right foam type is critical for effective building envelope performance.

    Research from the U.S. Department of Energy indicates that heating and cooling account for approximately 50 to 70 percent of energy consumption in residential buildings. Air infiltration contributes significantly to this energy use, with gaps and cracks in building envelopes allowing conditioned air to escape and outdoor air to enter. Spray foam insulation addresses this issue by creating a continuous air barrier when properly installed.

    Melissa Grant, owner of Cascadia Spray Foam Insulation in Seattle, outlined the rationale for the service expansion. “We have seen consistent requests from property owners in areas outside our initial service radius who need professional spray foam installation,” Grant said. “Extending our coverage allows us to serve these customers while applying the same installation protocols and quality standards we maintain in our existing markets.”

    Spray foam insulation is a liquid polymer that expands and hardens to form a thermal and air-sealing barrier. Available in open-cell and closed-cell formulations, it provides different performance levels. Closed-cell foam has an R-value of 6–7 per inch and adds structural support, while open-cell foam offers R-3.5–3.7 per inch, making it suitable for interior spaces and soundproofing. Fiberglass batt insulation ranges from R-2.9 to R-3.8 per inch.

    Washington State energy codes set minimum insulation requirements based on climate zones, building type, and heating systems, with compliance verified through plan review and inspections. Spray foam simplifies construction by combining insulation and air-sealing functions. Closed-cell foam also acts as a vapor retarder, helping manage moisture in humid conditions, though proper building design is essential to prevent trapped moisture.

    Installation requires trained technicians using specialized equipment that mixes isocyanate and polyol resin, with performance affected by temperature, surface conditions, and application thickness. OSHA guidelines ensure installer safety, and occupants typically vacate the premises during curing. Proper surface preparation and precise mixing are essential to achieve the expected R-value and air-sealing performance. After curing, the foam forms a durable, long-lasting barrier that resists settling, moisture, and air leakage.

    Recent regulatory changes have phased out high-GWP HFC blowing agents, replaced by lower-GWP alternatives like HFOs. Energy efficiency programs and utility rebates in the Pacific Northwest encourage insulation upgrades. Spray foam is widely used in residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural buildings for thermal control, moisture management, and condensation prevention. Blower door tests and thermal imaging verify performance, and properly installed foam maintains thickness and R-value over decades. Retrofits in older buildings can significantly improve energy efficiency, especially in attics and crawl spaces.

    Professional certification programs ensure proper application, safety, and compliance with building codes, including fire protection requirements. Material and installation costs vary by type and project size, with closed-cell foam generally more expensive. Property owners should consult qualified contractors to select the right insulation, meet code requirements, and achieve long-term energy savings.

  • Tendem Introduces a New Standard for Getting Work Done Better and Faster with AI and Human Expertise

    Tendem Introduces a New Standard for Getting Work Done Better and Faster with AI and Human Expertise

    A hybrid platform that unites automation with human intelligence delivers verified, high-quality results in hours

    AMSTERDAM, NL / ACCESS Newswire / November 18, 2025 / Tendem, a new hybrid agent now open for early access, is redefining how professionals and small teams delegate and complete work. By combining advanced AI orchestration with a network of vetted human experts, Tendem delivers high-quality, verified results quickly and efficiently – without the need to hire, manage, or supervise freelancers.

    With Tendem, users can delegate a wide range of professional tasks, including market research, writing, analysis, and content creation. The service has plans to expand to other deep domain expertise such as consulting, finance, and more. The platform’s intelligent system manages the full workflow – from understanding the request to producing a final, quality-assured result – allowing users to focus on higher-value priorities.

    “How work gets done is being fundamentally redefined. We’re moving beyond the limits of human-only or AI-only workflows toward an integrated model – where AI handles scale and efficiency, and human intelligence ensures accuracy, context, and trust,” said Olga Megorskaya, CEO of Toloka, the company behind Tendem. “Tendem embodies this shift, removing the overhead of managing freelancers and the uncertainty of AI tools to make delegation fast, reliable, and effortless for professionals.”

    “The market is discovering pure AI isn’t the finish line; the most powerful results come from hybrid AI-human systems,” said Mikhail Parakhin, CTO at Shopify and chairman of the Toloka Board of Directors. “Tendem has engineered the core technology to manage these collaborative workflows at scale, producing consistent high-caliber results. This is the technological foundation that will power the next wave of effective AI-human systems.”

    How Tendem Ensures Quality

    Tendem’s unique workflow is engineered to maximize quality and efficiency. When a user submits a task, its AI project manager analyzes the request and assigns each step to the most suitable combination of AI and human experts.

    It first assigns routine subtasks to AI, which accelerates completion and allows the human experts to focus their attention on complex details and strategy.

    This hybrid collaboration between AI and experts is the first layer of quality control. The deliverable then goes through a second, layered QA process – first automated, then human-verified where needed – before it ever reaches the client.

    This system creates key advantages for the user:

    • Consistently high quality: The combination of automated and human QA ensures every result is accurate, polished, and business-ready.

    • An improved client experience: The structured flow is far more reliable and efficient than traditional freelancing. With transparent checkpoints and quick, targeted clarifications, the entire process feels intuitive.

    • Speed advantage: Most tasks are completed within hours, offering a reliable and scalable solution for consultants, marketers, and small business teams seeking high quality results with a fast turnaround and no management overhead.

    Benchmarks Confirm Tendem’s Performance Advantage:

    • Versus AI-only tools: Tendem delivers 1.8x higher quality, with consistent reliability and manageable turnaround times.

    • Versus human-only freelance platforms: Tendem achieves 2.1x faster delivery while maintaining 1.4x better output quality, thanks to its integrated AI-human workflow.
