“Spectrum Cube” necklace!

If you can recall your high school science classes, you may remember learning about the physics of light, and how rainbows are made by dispersion. If you’re a classic rock fan, you may recognize this separation of white light into a colorful rainbow depicted on Pink Floyd’s album Dark Side of the Moon.

▼ This isn’t just a clever album design, this is science!



The science behind dispersion is what gives this cube necklace its gorgeous range of colors. When light is shone through the cube from straight on, it emits red, blue, and green light.

When shone through at an angle, the light breaks up into an array of colors, from the original red, blue, and green, to yellow, cyan, magenta, and all the colors in between, the resulting colorful beams of light similar to a stained glass window.
