Cobalt Diamonds
Immerse yourself in a captivating dance of light and color with "Cobalt Diamonds," a mesmerizing kinetic sculpture that showcases the breathtaking beauty of rare vintage cobalt blue prisms. This intricate masterpiece unfolds like a story, each element meticulously crafted to create a captivating display of movement and brilliance.
The journey begins with a medium glass rosette, its delicate form a prelude to the wonders below. A small gold diamond form appears next, cradling a dancing clear prism and a captivating, deep blue treasure – a small, rare vintage cobalt prism. This mesmerizing pattern repeats, with two more rosettes and gold diamond forms, each housing a spinning clear prism and a dangling cobalt gem. See how "Cobalt Diamonds" moves HERE.
But the true spectacle awaits. Three larger, interlocked gold diamonds take center stage, each spinning independently in a mesmerizing ballet. Nestled within the innermost diamond hangs a magnificent, large, rare vintage cobalt glass prism, its rich blue hue pulsating with an inner light. Above it, a smaller cobalt prism echoes the theme, creating a captivating dialogue of color.
The story concludes with a final flourish. A delicate rosette precedes a magnificent, extremely rare multi-faceted clear prism, the grand finale of this kinetic masterpiece. As light interacts with its intricate surfaces, it explodes in a dazzling display of rainbows, a breathtaking counterpoint to the cobalt's intensity.
More than just a sculpture, "Cobalt Diamonds" is a captivating kinetic experience that celebrates the exquisite beauty of rare vintage materials, the mesmerizing power of movement, and the captivating interplay of light and color.
