Title:Dichroic Glass Jewelry (Jewellery) - http://www.amandasglassart.co.uk
Description:Amanda makes stunning jewellery using dichroic glass, which was developed by Nasa. Dichroic glass is a speciality glass developed in the 1950s by the aerospace industry. Dichroic refers to the property of having more than one colour when viewed from different angles. In the lengthy and costly procedure the thin layers of metallic oxides are deposited on the surface of the glass giving an extraordinary selection of vivid colours. Kiln fired in extreme heat to produce the desired stunning textures, colours and shapes, the resulting pieces of jewellery are both beautiful and unique. Made using this fired dichroic glass and bullseye coloured glass the resulting creations are unique. No two firings are the same so every piece of my jewellery is individual.
