Australian Topaz - Origin - 14.7ct
This gem was again something of an experiment. I wanted to see how the chrysanthemum design would work in a square cut, when you're creating something new the only way to see how it will look is to do it. I was very pleased with how this turned out. The pattern effect works nicely within the square shape. I named it "Origin" because of a certain metaphysical resonance I had when seeing the design for the first time. In the beginning everything starts from a point and radiates outwards. This creates the "four directions" of north, south, east and west and is embodied in the four sides of the square. It's sort of a creation/origin event story captured in a gem. It's hard to explain in words, sorry about that. It's something that my mind intuitively grasps because of my life story and studies but like a lot of things in life, it's hard to put down into words.
