- DICHROIC ART GLASS |
Renaissance
Art Glass Earrings
These pendants
are handcrafted by Renaissance Art Glass Studio in North Carolina.
Each pendant is unique. The glass used is called dichroic glass. The colors
are a result of micro thin layers of metal oxides within the glass art piece.
The light is bent as it enters the glass and returns to your eye as brilliant
color. Unlike dyes or pigments, most of the light is reflected back directly
to your eye. This accounts for the
unusual brilliance of the glass. The process of making this dichroic
art glass involves many layers of
glass and many other steps to arrive at the finished art glass. The glass is
fired in the kiln as many as
four times to over 1400 degrees. Each firing can take several hours. The art
glass pendants below are grouped in colors based on what color shows up the
most in the pendant. The blue grouping shows mostly blue hues, but also has
other colors in it etc. Please note that the art glass pendants vary in color
due to the uniqueness of the handcrafted glass. The pendants below will give
you an idea of what the colors look like. Pendants all have an opening in the
glass in which to thread through your chain or omega. Opening is 4mm x 3mm.
