About Cylettes®
Created by world-renowned jewelry designer John Kennedy, and introduced
to critical acclaim at the 1992 New York Jewelers of America show,
Cylettes® are colored gemstones cut into cylindrical shape that transmit
light rather than reflect light. Allowing light to directly pass through the stone reveals the natural colors of the gemstone. By
transforming both light and stone, Cylettes® create a deeper and
smoother presentation of color not found within traditional faceted
gemstones. Kennedy’s innovative designs and creative use of metals
result in flawless pieces of art that are both fashionable and wearable.
