Watching The Eclipse

June 10, 2018

A
Solar Eclipse Necklace,

Made from her grandfather's gold watchcase.

During a solar eclipse
An effect occurs, known as
" The Diamond Ring."

The design mimics this effect.
A ring to mimic a ring,
That mimics a ring.

To simulate
"The Diamond"
A rutilated quartz.

The ring will be built
From recycled gold.

With a lava bead moon

Also included in the design
Are the dates of the most recent eclipse,
And the upcoming one in 2024.

I was able to disassemble the case into strips,

From which I forged raw stock for the build.

This shot of the reverse side reveals the only identifiable watch detail; the winding stem receptacle.  Ultimately, the rivet that allows the lava bead to spin will utilize this watch scion.

"The Diamond Ring" is a stylized explosion.

The Quartz stone is prong set
In classic fashion,
With a viewing window
To show off the depth of the stone.

The white gold looks molten,
As is wraps itself
Around a black lava moon.

Thick gold plates,
With holes and craters
Like the moon,
Spell out the eclipse dates,

The Diamond Ring,
Hangs tilted towards Venus,
Which is represented by
A small Herkimer Diamond
(Hanging near the upcoming year)
