Fun Facts, Fun Jewellery – The Bermuda Triangle

The Bermuda Triangle by Rêve Jewellery & Accessories

Nothing gets lost in this beautiful earring designed by our Director of Concept and Production, Duane Bennett. It's name and design gives a nod to the popular Bermuda Triangle. Some of you may not know exactly what the urban legend of the Bermuda Triangle is, so here is the first fun fact post to tell you all about it.

The Bermuda Triangle
Also known as the Devil's triangle, the Bermuda Triangle is an undefined region in the western part of the North Atlantic Ocean where aircrafts and ships have been said to mysteriously disappear. 

Here is an extract from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Some speculate that unknown and mysterious forces account for the unexplained disappearances, such as extraterrestrials capturing humans for study; the influence of the lost continent of Atlantis; vortices that suck objects into other dimensions; and other whimsical ideas.  Some explanations are more grounded in science, if not in evidence.  These include oceanic flatulence (methane gas erupting from ocean sediments) and disruptions in geomagnetic lines of flux.

Environmental considerations could explain many, if not most, of the disappearances.  The majority of Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes pass through the Bermuda Triangle, and in the days prior to improved weather forecasting, these dangerous storms claimed many ships.  Also, the Gulf Stream can cause rapid, sometimes violent, changes in weather.  Additionally, the large number of islands in the Caribbean Sea creates many areas of shallow water that can be treacherous to ship navigation. And there is some evidence to suggest that the Bermuda Triangle is a place where a “magnetic” compass sometimes points towards “true” north, as opposed to “magnetic” north.


Still, most official bodies do not attribute and extraterrestrial or supernatural explanations for any alleged disappearances within the triangle. Also, many disappearances have taken place all over the world and are not exclusive to the Bermuda Triangle. 

One this is certain, nothing gets lost in this Bermuda Triangle earring designed by Duane Bennett.

Monday Music | All I Want Is You by Michael Franti



Talk about a good Monday morning groove. Rêve loves to work with talented people so it was an absolute honor to provide jewellery for Michael Franti "All I Want is You" music video. Not only is Franti a ridiculous talent but just a great guy to know. Thanks for blessing us by allowing us to be on set. It was a great time. And yes, our jewellery looked great in the video but we were definitely upstaged by the music. Nuff love Franti!

Michael Franti (born April 21, 1966) is an American poet, musician, and composer. He is the creator and lead vocalist of Michael Franti & Spearhead, a band that blends hip hop with a variety of other styles including funkreggaejazzfolk, and rock. He is also an outspoken supporter for a wide spectrum of peace and social justice issues.

Q&A Tuesday | Custom Jewellery Orders

QUESTION

Hello Rêve Team,

Do you make custom orders. For example, if I have a symbol that I wanted to make pendants for as gifts, do you do such special orders? If so what is your minimum quantity?

Thanks,
Daz


ANSWER

Hello Daz.

Thanks for your question. Yes we do and love working on these special items. Our director of design and concept Duane offers a complementary (FREE) consultation to private clients and corporate companies who commission his services to create their desired design in any of the metals of GOLD (yellow & White), Sterling Silver, Brass, Bronze and Copper that we use.

We do not have a minimum quantity. Give us a call to make an appointment for your free consultation.

Some of the non-traditional private Commissions from Duane (Rêve™) that are memorable include:

  • a couple who enjoyed hunting and the wild outdoors together was not sure how they could have something that reflect their love and bond in a “non-traditional” Wedding band. Duane created a fusion of Polished Cow Horn and White Gold together and they loved it!
  • another non-traditional Wedding band set that was fashioned by the designer was a  clean sophisticated White Gold set that captured the delicate imprint of the couples finger prints in the inner part of the rings… hidden to the world but shared by them.
  • corporate companies who have also commissioned our talented goldsmith to make specific pieces for Jamaican icons, celebrities and clients.
