Description
I have taken a working silver kaleidoscope with glass jewels and added a silver man in the moon charm, tiny 3D silver stars, and a silver spiral cage with multicolor Swarovski crystals. This comes with a 24 inch silver plated rope chain. The kaleidoscope is hand crafted 18k white gold electroplate. It is 2.5 inches long.

A kaleidoscope is a cylinder with mirrors that contains colored objects suchs as bits of glass. They are often made of brass, wood, or glass. As you look through one end, light enters the other, which creates a colorful pattern from the reflection of the mirrors.

The name kaleidoscope was coined in 1817 by Sir David Brewster, a Scottish inventor. It is derived from the ancient greek phrase "kalos eidos skopeo", which means "to see beautiful forms".

Brewster was conducting experiments on light polarization when he invented the kaleidoscope. Manufacturing began in 1817, and it proved to be such a sucess that 200,000 kaleidoscopes were sold in London and Paris in just three months. It was originally intended as a scientific tool, but was later copied as a toy.
