Hall of Mirrors, Magician’s Mirage Ruby & Diamond Necklace

You look. You think you know what’s known. You watch closely. What just happened? Color sweeps. Color disappears, then in a wink it reappears.

This necklace plays tricks with color. A curved high polish interior reflects gem light throughout the clover. Wear this and you’ll see people look twice, three times, wanting to know the secret.

I was a science kid. Today, I would be called a science nerd. In particular, I liked optics – how light behaved, prisms, lenses, reflections. My seventh grade self would have been fascinated with this piece. It’s a red ruby standing in a hall of mirrors.

Why We Love This Piece

Captures and reveals all of the gem’s color and beauty, it’s unlike any piece of jewelry we’ve ever made. The interior of the clover is a house of mirrors. It’s white gold polished smooth to catch the color and reflect the light from the back sides of the gem. You have the color of the gem echoed in the four hearts of the four leaf clover. As you wear this piece your observers will see a flickering of color dancing a ballet through the hearts. They probably won’t say anything, if you don’t, they won’t…they will be intrigued because the light show reads differently than any normal gem. The gem colors flicker in a magical way. Four little diamonds are positioned north, south, east, and west. This piece really does play with color in a mysterious way.

The “king of gems,” ruby is one of the world’s oldest and most revered gemstones. It is also one of the rarest. Rubies with hardly any inclusions are so rare that large stones of good color fetch higher prices at auction than even diamonds. Fiery and romantic, showing brilliant depth and intensity, the red hue of ruby is certain to draw attention. In settings that focus attention on voluptuous color, ruby sends a message of drop-dead glamour.
