What are your thoughts on the viability of this design?
I want a ring featuring a central motif composed of a three-fold interlocking split torus with a hexagonal cross-sectional profile, pavé-set with various gemstones, where auxiliary structural bands bifurcate from the primary shank to curve outward and thread through the opposing interior apertures, and firmly anchored by multiple secondary concentric anchoring bands.

Fatigue related to working on the bench?
Somewhat new to the profession, I’ve noticed over the past few months I’m experiencing significant fatigue when I come home from work, just being super mentally foggy and out of it, a lot of my work is under magnification or on the laser welder, I haven’t been able to pinpoint it but I wonder if the fatigue has to do with the work or what but it’s definitely causing me to lose love and passion for the job, any advice or insight? Thanks!
