Dichroic
glass is a wonderful material for producing striking pendants
and other jewellery. Its dramatic appearance, optical effects
and beautiful colours are very appealing to designers. Our pendants
use pieces of dichroic glass with sterling silver loops or rings.
They are supplied with silver chains or matching leather cords.
Origin
of Dichroic Glass
Dichroic
glass was first developed by NASA to make face shields on space
suits that would protect the eyes of astronauts. It is made by
coating glass with extremely thin layers of metals. This dichroic
glass gives the reflective appearance to the face shields. Jewellery
designers realised that this technique used on coloured glass
would produce wonderful effects and dichroic glass jewellery was
born.
