Toronto designer Niki Kavakonis'
Tip of the Iceberg ring design
featured in The Nature of Diamonds exhibition
at the Royal Ontario
Museum, October 25 2008 - March 22 2009.
Showcasing an array of signicant gemstones and jewellery from
vaults around the world, The Nature of Diamonds exhibition features
Toronto designer Niki Kavakonis' Tip
of the Iceberg ring design, one of a handful of designs
by Canadian designers. Inspired by an iconic feature of Canada's
vast landscape, and giving a nod to the the Group of Seven's mountain
masterpieces, the ring is also inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's
architectural icon Fallingwater.
The Tip of the Iceberg ring features a 2.78ct uncut
Canadian octahedral diamond from the Ekati mines in the North
West Territories, Canada.
The Nature of Diamonds exhibition is organised by the American
Museum of Natural History (AMNH), New York in collaboration with
the Royal Ontario Museum, October 25 2008 - March 22 2009 ; the
Houston Museum of Natural Science, May 8 - September 7 2009; and
The Field Museum, Chicago, October 23 2009 - March 29 2010.
