This sparkling dichroic glass jewelry set sports the yummy, rich color of blueberries! Streaked with wavy white lines and a few dots of "falling snow" this jewelry set is one-of-a-kind! The pendant is a large oval that hangs from a sterling silver pinch bail. The dangle, drop earrings are long ovals that mirror the color and lines in the pendant. The earrings hang from sterling silver pinch bails and sterling silver ear wires. The pendant and earrings are each stand-alone pieces or can be worn as a beautiful matching set. Necklaces (Black leather cords with lobster clasp) can selling be found in the drop down box. The pendant would be lovely with a black leather cord or silver necklace.
Pendant measurements: 1 inch wide x 1.5 inches high, including the bail
Earring measurements: .5 inches wide x 2 inch drop including the ear wires
Sterling silver pinch bails and ear wires
So what is dichroic glass? It's characteristics are just amazing! Dichroic glass was first developed by NASA as part of their satellite mirror systems. The extremely thin dichroic coating must be applied to the sheet glass in very controlled environments. Di-chroic means two colors and this glass reflects/transmits different colors depending on the angle of light. When it is worn with different colors, it appears to pick up and reflect some of those colors so it really enhances the total look. I call this the "mood" of the glass because of it's ability to color-shift.
