      I'm fascinated by the concept of metallic glass/amorphous metal alloys and think they're incredibly cool but on the consumer level there's not really a lot of access to them I want, like, jewelry made out of amorphous alloy

      My understanding is there's no demand for that because they don't really look or feel that different from regular metal when handled on an everyday scale

      Do they have the same kind of grain? I would have thought they'd be glassier to the touch

      "It's also very expensive" is exactly why jewelry is an ideal use.

      not really, the jewelry business is reliant on raw materials being relatively cheap and sold at absolutely massive markups. If the raw materials are already really expensive, it becomes a lot harder to sell.

      Yeah it'd only be economical to make a ring or a necklace or whatever where the piece of metal glass was the stone or the pendant, not make the whole thing out of it And there wouldn't be much demand for that because a small piece of it like that isn't visually interesting

      "Economical" isn't the point with jewelry. Exclusivity is. Difficulty and expense make it more attractive. Diamonds are pretty much the least visually interesting stone that exists, and it's only now that perfect artificial ones are cheap and easy that people talk up the flaws.

      But the amount of marketing it took diamonds to get to the status that they where at was absolutely nuts and took several decades. Its questionable whether or not that can really be replicated.

      "Liquidiamond" was a marketing thing about how hard amorphous metal is and how long it holds an edge It doesn't actually look like a gemstone at all, it just looks like metal

          ok I see what happened here. Twitter really needs to handle branching threads better.
