I like it very much!
I think you could sell this design (maybe the checker board would be fragile
but with a frame or/and a second plain glass board at the bottom...)

Manufacturing the pieces would be a problem as the only material I know 
with a high enough ior is gallium phosphide, and the design doesn't have 
quite the same impact if the spheres are made even of diamond or cubic 
zirconia with an ior around 2.2 , see the attached rendering. Perhaps 
with some redesign of the internals for a lower ior.
