Re: The KryptoKap Pre-orders CLOSED - THEY'RE HERE!! - SHIPPING SOON
Ok people a lot to go over. Great, good and bad news.
The great news is that shimmer is all over
The good news is that all the pre-orders will have good looking Kaps, and should be shipping out in the next few days.
The bad news is that a bunch of them we're either too poor quality (lasering a natural material makes it tough), or had been shattered in shipping. That shocked me for sure, considering they are marble.
The rows to the left of the shattered ones are rejects. On at least one side, the design has been messed up too much.
Because these are not completely uniform size, the slightest gap could cause an impact between the Kaps during shipping. I've talked to the manufacturer and have been assured of better packaging in the future, as well as credit for the ruined cubes.
So now on to how unique each one will be! So bits of sparkle peek through on most of them, but what makes for an amazing shimmer, is when a band of sparkle runs up against a side.
This one is one of the coolest I've found. It has multiple bands running through it, and a couple that shimmer on either side! I'll be making a video of that to show a bit better.
A very rare occurrence is you can see the band go all the way through the Kap!
In addition to the shimmer, the size of the cubes vary slightly. Putting the biggest next to the smallest there is almost 2mm difference. May not seem like a lot, but it is noticeable if you're looking carefully.
The irregularity in the curve of the edges is probably the most noticeable, if you're closely examining them side by side:
Because these must be sanded down to shape, and to a polish, the natural variables and perhaps inconsistencies in the process make for slightly differing sized cubes.
In short, each one is completely unique!
I'll be getting some more close-ups added to that image gallery, though I'm trying to get these out as quickly as possible! I can't wait to hear people's thoughts on them after they arrive
Take care everyone,
KP
