What's New

Did you watch the video of the ruby generating a star on my Instagram? That's the best place to see it.

So why did I decide to feature a star ruby in the Sunrise Ruby earrings?

These earrings have many influences, including a second literary one: ‘Bang! A Complete History of the Universe’, by Brian May, Sir Patrick Moore, and Chris Lintott.

Yes, that Brian May, of Queen fame, guitar virtuoso, and who also holds a Phd in astrophysics!

The Bang! book is scintillating because, not only does it open up the Universe with riveting images, but the original cover features a lenticular.

What’s a lenticular? Lenticular printing allows an image to morph from one image to another, as you move the lenticular. It is sometimes used in playing cards, DVD covers, and the like.

Similarly, the star effect in the Sunrise Ruby earrings, a natural effect, moves as the ruby is moved.

“He says, "There's nothing left of me. I'm like a ruby held up to the sunrise. Is it still a stone, or a world made of redness? It has no resistance to sunlight." “

Come see the ruby in action at Niki Kavakonis Designs, 2465 Bloor Street West, across from the Humber Theatre.
