Night Light: Phosphorescent Jewelry that Shines in the Dark

An Exquisite Piece of Art by Gabriel Juliano

The idea of a piece of phosphorescent jewelry that lights up and glows in the dark was inspired by the bioluminescence of abyssal fishes. These species of fish live in the depths of the ocean and, even in total darkness, they make themselves visible and attractive to the opposite sex through their mysterious ability to light themselves. With Night Light, Gabriel Juliano intends to give women the opportunity to shine even at night.

Night Light is a unique earring design that combines elegance and innovation. Made of silver and acrylic resin, this exquisite piece of art glows in the dark, allowing women to be noticed and admired even in low-light settings. The turquoise color adds a touch of luxury and sophistication, making it suitable for both day and night wear.

The realization of Night Light posed several challenges for the designer. Finding the ideal materials with the right texture, glow capability, and fluidity required years of research and experimentation. The final composition of silver and acrylic resin perfectly captures the desired aesthetic and functionality.

The earring measures 110mm in length and 12mm in width, weighing a mere 3 grams. It is designed with a pin arrest for secure and comfortable wearing.

Since its inception in 2012, Night Light has garnered recognition and acclaim. It was initially showcased at the Anhembi Morumbi college in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where it received a standing ovation from teachers and students. In 2015, it was further enhanced and presented at the A' Design Awards Competition.

The A' Design Awards recognized Night Light with the prestigious Iron Award in the Jewelry, Eyewear, and Watch Design category. This award is bestowed upon well-designed, practical, and innovative creations that meet professional and industrial requirements. Night Light's integration of industry best practices, competent technical characteristics, and its ability to provide fulfillment and positive feelings contribute to a better world.

With Night Light, Gabriel Juliano has created a piece of jewelry that not only showcases creativity and originality but also empowers women to shine and be noticed, even in the darkest of nights.
