The amazing brilliance of Dichroic glass is achieved by vaporizing metallic oxide onto glass sheets in a controlled vacuum. Multiple layers of the treated glass create the dazzling colors. The cut and stacked pieces are fused in a kiln, often several times. Further annealing, grinding and fire polishing result in beautiful and unique jewelry. The pieces gather their light and are sparked by the colors that surround them, allowing them to change as we do.
