Im not sure what the illusion is supposed to be.

Was the initial design supposed to be solid or “hollow”?

Look at it one way and u see through to the backside the entire time. The “field of view” being inside the object. (it spins one way)

Look another way its solid and it looks like the top switches directions. (which ruins the illusion of it being a solid object)

So the question is, which way is meant to be the illusion or how was the “illusion” created?

I think the answer is its not supposed to be “solid” and is simply a case of the “fov” being inside the object. Is that supposed to be an illusion?

the illusion is that goes from solid to transparent

It all depends on which side of your brain is dominant, because it is spinning on both direcions, some people see it spinning right, others, left. Some people see it go backwards and forwards because they are paying too much attention to unnecesary detail

The bottom tip of the jewel is making a 360 degree circle giving the illusion that the direction is changing when it rotates toward the back although its not….pretty cool

there are two separate rotations, one is visible from the point at the bottom, the other you will notice if you watch one of the top points of the object.
