Abstract
A light fixture has an electrical light-emitting lamp, a hollow and at least partially light-transparent shade spacedly surrounding the lamp and formed with a throughgoing hole having an inner edge, and a transparent prismatic jewel generally filling the hole and having a faceted outer surface turned away from the lamp and an inner surface turned toward the lamp. This jewel is fixedly retained in the hole such that light emitted by the lamp impinges the jewel inner surface, passes through the jewel, and is emitted from the jewel outer surface.
