Abstract

A cover and a method for creating the cover are disclosed. The cover includes a frame and a lens secured to the frame. A first and second surface regions of the lens are proximally located relative to the frame, such that the first surface region is polished to allow light that emerges from the frame to pass through and the second surface region is rough in order to reflect light emerging from the frame. The method of creating a fading color hue in a cover includes the steps of creating a polished region on one surface the lens; creating a reflective region on another surface of the lens to allow for maximum reflection of light; creating a dispersion region on a third surface region of the lens, wherein the third surface is positioned opposite the reflective region; and securing the lens to the frame, such that the polished region and the reflective region are in close proximate to the frame thereby creating a gradually fading hue in the lens.
