Gold diamond panels alternate with illuminated open sections around this giant Christmas bauble. The pictured version measures 3.5 meters high and 3 meters in diameter. Its rounded shell has a large lower opening, while a cylindrical cap and upright loop finish the top. The cap keeps the subject recognizable as a Christmas ornament even where the lower sphere opens into the central space.
The specified structure uses iron, LEDs and PVC components. Golden artificial leather sheets provide the opaque diamond panels described for this design. LED string lights and rope lights illuminate the divisions between those panels, combining fine points with stronger lines around the curved body. The ICL specification lists 4,000 LEDs and IP65 protection for the lighting.
The diamond arrangement continues toward both sides of the ball, making the surface pattern part of its three dimensional form. Solid gold areas reflect the surroundings, while the open sections reveal the lighter network behind them. That combination gives the decoration visible detail during the day as well as an illuminated pattern after dark. The photographed lower opening provides a framed area within the bauble rather than a separate attached arch. Overall height, body diameter and the required opening dimensions are distinct selection measurements. Custom sizes are available for projects seeking another scale of the same gold patterned ornament.
