Dichroic Glass NecklacesAlthough dichroic glass was originally developed for the aerospace industry to split a beam of light warm glass artists have discovered this extraordinary medium for use in glass blowing, bead making, and glass fusing.The colors created are spectacular and must be experienced firsthand. When a finished piece is held up to the light, one color will be visible but when viewed at another angle another color will appear creating a two-colored effect. Hence, the word dichroic which means two-colored. It is fused together through a process of heating in a kiln or by using a torch. A glass layer with metallic oxide coatings are applied to the base to create a stunning optical effect. When cooled the glass reflects and transmits light in different wavelengths to produce this stunning effect. Chinese Knotted Necklace
