Dichroic Glass

The luminous beauty of dichroic glass is due to its very thin layers of metal oxides such as magnesium and titanium. These thin layers of oxides have a total thickness of three to five millionths of an inch.

What is Dichroic Glass?
NASA developed dichroic glass for use in face shields in space suits. Multiple micro-thin layers of different metals (gold, silver, titanium, chromium, aluminium, zirconium, magnesium, silicon) are applied to the surface of the glass. The glass is then kiln fired at extreme temperatures in a vacuum.
Dichroic glass is then fused (layered) with other glass in multiple firings. Certain wavelengths of light will either pass through or be reflected, causing the array of colour that you see in this spectacular jewellery. The result can never be re-created and is different every time. Each piece of Dichroic Jewellery is unique - No two pieces are ever the same.
