virelle

A one-screen hero for a fictional jewellery house, "VIRELLE — Eternal Light", rendered live with three.js over ivory. An 18K gold pendant with a pear-cut diamond drops into frame on a real chain of 232 interlocked links (an XPBD simulation, the same at any frame rate), is caught softly, swings and settles, and a faint air keeps it alive. The diamond is ray-traced in a shader through 137 facets with Fresnel, total internal reflection and a touch of colour fire, reflecting a small virtual photo studio. Eight editorial photographs sweep in and orbit the jewel on a tilted ring, keeping their size, staying inside the frame and lifting so they never cover the stone. A full-bleed ETERNAL LIGHT headline is fitted to the screen's width. Hover the jewel for a trailing "Rotate" disc, click to turn it 180° on a torsion spring and show the gold basket behind the stone, spin the ring with the wheel, pull the camera back with "See collection", and open any photo in a lightbox with a rising mask reveal. Includes a phone layout and a reduced-motion version.
