{"product_id":"blue-and-violet-low-faceted-gem-resin-sculpture-16cm","title":"Blue \u0026 Violet Low Faceted Gem Resin Sculpture - 16cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA low, broad gem of cast resin, faceted into large flat planes with crisp edges and graded from a deep violet along its top through blue to a clear green at its heart. It lies on its side rather than standing tall, and it rests on a small black wood base, which comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Gem Laid on Its Side\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaying a faceted block on its side turns it from a crystal into a stone found on a beach: the long top edge runs level, and the facets fall away beneath it in planes that each take a different slice of the colour. Violet gathers where the resin is thickest along the crown, the middle clears to a bright green, and blue fills the faces beneath, so the gem changes as it is walked past. The planes are polished, and no two are quite the same size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 16cm it is a close-up piece for a desk, a bookshelf or a side table, best looked down into from above. A window or a single lamp to one side gives each facet its own colour, while flat overhead light leaves it dull. On a pale surface the violet and green read at their clearest, and a dark one deepens them to jewel tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Facets, the Colours and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan for 3–4 weeks on a standard piece and 5–6 weeks on a bespoke commission. Other gradings can be cast, amber to red or clear to smoke, and the gem cut with more or fewer facets. The base can be made in stone or in steel instead of wood, and the gem can also be cut to stand upright rather than lie, or at another size to order. It is boxed in a fitted bed that touches only the broad faces, and it lifts in one hand. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA low gem cut to facets belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; colour graded through violet, blue and green suits our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a block cast as one leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.6 x 9.6 x 1cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGraded Cast Resin on Wood\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54236953444699,"sku":"X303-2","price":2565.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X303-2.jpg?v=1790959434","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/blue-and-violet-low-faceted-gem-resin-sculpture-16cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
