SKYlasers Diamond Ring Light Show.jpg
This is a very simple instructable on creating your very own laser light show! Of course, we're not talking about any regular light show. We're here to show off a laser light show from the reflections of a diamond ring. Ever wonder why a diamond is forever or why ladies love diamonds so much? I'm sure the video below will tell you exactly why. See the diamond sparkle, our should be say SPARKLE!

We know diamonds are expensive because they sparkle so beautifully under direct lighting situations. This is why the display cases in jewelry stores are always packed with mini spot-lights. Wouldn't it be cool if instead of using spot-lights, they used lasers instead? Talk about extreme brightness, just look at the picture below. We've provided a video for you as well, watch the entire diamond will glow green to the color of the laser. Can't wait to get started? The whole procedure takes less than 1 minute to setup but the results are amazing! Here's what you need:

1) Diamond ring
2) SKYlasers green laser pointer
3) Protective laser goggles
3) Laser stand

By shinning a laser directly into the diamond, we can actually clearly see the reflective properties of the diamond. The better the diamond, the better the light show. Wouldn't this make a perfect display idea for Tiffanys?



*Special thanks to my wife for letting me borrow the ring!

Step 1: Gather the Parts

Gather all the materials needed for the diamond light show. Here is what we used for the project:

1) SKYlasers 150mW green laser pointer.

2) SKYlasers green laser safety goggles.

3) Diamond Ring.

4) Laser Stand (any stand with a clip will do).

After you have gathered all the materials, proceed to the next step.

Didn't Blofeld try to do this in Diamonds are Forever?

Something like, but the LASER wasn't a green pointer, some half-baked device that used solar energy of all things...

You mean that wasn't real? I'm giving up on my diamond encrusted parabolic cooker.

I think someone broke it, so it's hard to say. But there are Thais that will take you out there in a boat (for cash) L
