Each piece of jewelry is created by hand-cutting and fusing multiple layers of dichroic glass in a special high-fire kiln at temperatures in excess of 1500ºF, with pieces often requiring multiple firings to achieve the desired effect. The technology of making dichroic glass by coating the surface with micro layers of oxides in a vacuum chamber was developed by the aerospace industry. Each piece derives its iridescence and fascinating colors from light reflecting off the surface and refracting through the glass, creating the deep glow of color within.
