Gems and Jewellery
Fibre optic lighting has made an indelible mark over the years as a sensational enhancer of fine jewellery and gemstones. From the Hope Diamond in America to the Crown Jewels in London, and in countless other national and commercial collections all over the world, the presentation of the most precious exhibits and possessions known to man bask in its unique aura.
Here at Absolute Action, our expertise and knowledge in this field is absolutely unsurpassed, having been charged with the lighting of some of the most exotic and highly prized artefacts in the world. For both exquisite display and absolute security, they have been entrusted to our care, with spectacular results.
Our range of fibre optic lighting systems is the result of years of evolution and development to suit changing fashions and emerging technologies and, in so doing, to fulfill the individual requirements of our discerning clients. Brochures
National Bank of Dubai Pearl Museum
Absolute Action was commissioned by the National Bank of Dubai to manufacture, instal and focus fibre optic showcase lighting throughout the seven different galleries within the museum, most notably the Sultan Ali Al Owais gallery, The Pearls in Arabian Waters gallery and The Pearl Collection gallery.
Pearls respond in surprising variety to different tonalities and intensities of light, which was very carefully balanced to bring out the best in irridescent beauty for each exhibit, whether of cascades of loose pearls or of elaborate settings in jewellery.
The beauty of fibre optic lighting for the enhancement of pearls was also recognized by the National Museum of Natural History at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC, and the company was specially commissioned to apply their magic touch to the exclusive temporary exhibit, The Allure of Pearls.
Royal Ontario Museum
This gem was lit with a warm, intense light to enrich its striking colouration, demonstrating the unexpected power of fibre optic light. For security, light-sources are outside the case. The optic output heads need no maintenance, so the display case remains locked
Rare Diamonds at The Smithsonian, Washington DC
The famous Moussaieff red diamond was amongst the collection of amazing, coloured diamonds gathered together from across the globe for the Smithsonian's special Fancy Diamonds Exhibit.
