Lot 216: Dichroic Art Glass Pendant, Black & Teal

Description

A striking handmade dichroic glass pendant, fused in glossy black with a shimmering band of dichroic glass along the base that shifts between teal, green, and blue depending on the angle of light. Dichroic glass is made by depositing ultra-thin layers of metal oxides onto glass in a vacuum chamber, a technique originally developed for aerospace and optical applications before studio glass artists adopted it for its dazzling color-shifting effect; every piece is unique, since the exact color play depends on the thickness and layering achieved in the kiln. Here the fused glass is set in a simple metal bail, letting the glass itself take center stage. The bold, high-contrast palette and glossy finish make this an eye-catching statement piece that layers well with other pendants or wears beautifully on its own, and the handmade, one-of-a-kind nature of fused glass jewelry continues to appeal strongly to art jewelry collectors and glass enthusiasts. 1 1/4" long.
