J. Kennedy Design
If you have visited St. John, there
is a good chance this collection caught your eye as you passed
Verace's windows. This is our
most popular collection for obvious reasons. John Kennedy's
work is so truly unique that he has been awarded two U.S. Patents. Although
there are many color combinations to chose from, the most popular
ones are the Blue and Green Onyx, Turquoise Agate, and Turquoise
Agate and Lavender Onyx. The Blue and Green Onyx combination
remind people of the islands, and the Turquoise Agate, or as it's
called on St. John, "St. John Agate" often reminds
people of the water at the beautiful beaches St. John has to
offer. Cylettes ® were conceived from the notion that light and color
need not be limited to the reflective nature of the traditional faceted
stone cuts. Cylindrical gemstones allow for the transmission
of natural light with a deeper and smoother presentation of color.
A clear and brilliant departure from what had been accepted as
the only way to use and present colored gemstones in fine jewelry.
John Kennedy has revolutionized the design of jewelry and gemstones. John Kennedy has won numerous awards
and honors for his innovation and design in precious jewelry. And
here we feature one of his most remarkable works using Cylettes ®, or "Cylinders of Color." This
ring showcases this new technology using cylinders of tourmaline
in four distinct colors: blue, rose, yellow and green. Each stone
is separated by a cylinder of 14 karat gold . This centerpiece
is mounted over a highly polished canal of 14 karat gold so that
light is captured and reflected from every angle. The entire
ring is designed in 14 karat gold. The result is dramatic and visually
striking. |
