Handmade Mosaic Fused Glass Earrings
Square shape fused glass mosaic pair of earrings, decorated with dichroic glass. The intensely shining dichroic glass gives an extra sparkle to the colourful, shiny glass jewel. The panels are hand cut, layered and fused together. The hook of the earring is made of sterling silver.
The size of the glass pieces is about 2 cm x 2 cm each, the length of it is about 3.5 cm together with the hook.
Dichroich glass is glass containing multiple micro-layers of metals or oxides which give the glass dichroic optical properties. The main characteristic of dichroic glass is that it has a particular transmitted color and a completely different reflected color, as certain wavelengths of light are either passed through or reflected. This causes an array of color to be displayed. The colors shift depending on the angle of view.
