The Ray
The Ray is a brooch inspired by a ray of sunlight appearing through the clouds on a cloudy day. The base color of the brooch is dark, as the piece uses black rhodium plated metal and a black diamond. Bright gemstones are combined with the dark base to brighten the whole piece. The pearls give a soft glow, while the diamonds add sparkle next to the dark metal. The brooch was developed as a three-dimensional digital model. The Ray measures 50 by 30 by 17 millimeters.
