Dichroic Glass


Dichroic Glass is really a very beautiful thing. 
You can literally make anything you want out of it, and in any different style.

One designer who really gets dichroic glass is Nancy Giere.

Dichroic glass is made from layering many layers of metals or oxides which are then vaporized by an electron beam in a vacuum chamber.


I recently made a ring using a dichroic glass piece made by my metal working instructor, Brent.


The pink dichroic glass cabochon is really interesting. It reflects different colours depending on the angle you are looking at it from. 

You can kind of see it here, how it turns into an orange colour.
