What is Dichoric glass?

Dichroic is pronounced di-chro-ic.

The bit we call dichroic is a coating on the glass made up from metal oxides and quartz crystals, the coating is applied in a vacuum to a circle of glass. The dichroic coating has many layers but is very thin, it is the dichroic coating which has a reflection colour and a transmission colour.

The resulting glass can then cut and fused with other glass in multiple firings.

Due to variations in the firing and cutting process individual results can never be exactly reproduced, each piece of fused dichroic glass is unique and no two pieces are ever the
same.


How is your jewellery made?

Each item of glass is hand cut to the shape required, the glass is then layered with other glass and finally capped with clear glass.

This glass sandwich is then fused in the kiln taking care to probably anneal the glass for strength and durability.

The resulting cabochon is then mounted in various ways, using a two part epoxy resin, to create stunning items of jewellery.
