The Spring Equinox convex mirror is my first mirror using pinkish colors. Combining silver with clear pink and clear Venetian glass with rose quartz points makes this mirror a classic.
The Spring Equinox is about 17 inches in diameter. It will be shipped to my New York venue, KRB. Call 212-288-2221 for more information.

For some reason I associate the color pink with spring. Easter colors! This year Spring Equinox started on March 19th. Equinoxes are when the sun lands equally on both hemispheres, mark the start of spring and autumn.For those of us north of the equator, daylight will keep stretching longer— with earlier sunrises and later sunsets — until the summer solstice in June. The new season signals warmer weather, budding plants and migrating animals.
The color pink was recognized as a concept in 800 B.C. in Homer’s Odyssey. The term was coined in the 17th century by a Greek botanist for the ruffled edges of carnations. In the mid-18th century, pink was a fashionable color among male and female aristocrats as a symbol of class and luxury.
In the mid-20th century, men started to wear darker colors to reflect their World War II service. Bright and pastel colors like pink were rebranded as feminine as part of a postwar effort to remove women from the workforce and reestablish their traditional homemaker roles. Many advertisements targeting women depicted them in colorful clothing.
This connotation extended to baby girls in the 1980s when ultrasound technology was first used to determine sex and parents could shop by gender. Since the 1990s, pink has become more a bit more gender-neutral in Western culture.
