This is a stunning, Asian inspired, set of shimmering dichroic glass pendant and dangling earrings. The serene feeling conveyed by this handmade jewelery set brings to mind the beauty and peace of a bamboo forest. The wind tickles the leaves and the sun casts shadows of beautiful color across the plants. The dichoric colors that make up this beautiful bamboo garden, range from pink to pale green, silver and gold! The dichroic glass is very sparkly and is difficult to capture here. All pieces are deeply capped in clear to add protection, depth and shine. This jewelry set will be a special addition to anyone's jewelry collection.

The pendant measures just under an inch wide and two inches long (2.5 cm x 5cm). It is hung with a textured silver plated bail. The oval earrings measure about 3/4 inch (2 cm) long and dangle from silver wires on silver plated bails.

Wear this as an artistic expression or as points of interest on something dressy. A "little black dress" and these pieces will be unforgettable together. It will not go unnoticed! This is arty, classy and just plain beautiful. A silver necklace or black ribbon or cord would compliment the pendant. Necklaces can be purchased separately from this shop and will ship free with the purchase of the jewelry set. #S1138

What is dichroic glass? Dichroic glass was first developed by NASA as part of their satellite mirror systems. The extremely thin dichroic coating must be applied to the sheet glass in very controlled environments. Di-chroic means two colors and this glass reflects/transmits different colors depending on the angle of light. When it is worn with different colors, it appears to pick up and reflect some of those colors so it really enhances the total look. I call this the "mood" of the glass. Because of it's ability to color-shift, photographing the jewelry is difficult. Dichroic glass is very coveted by glass jewelry artisans.

All Umeboshi jewelry is handmade by the artist at Dark Hollow Studio in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia. Each piece is carefully fired and annealed in a digital kiln for a perfect results!

I wear my handmade jewelry almost every day. People have often stopped me to look at the dichroic glass and ask or comment about it. Seeing the jewelry being worn and catching the light has been my best advertisement. My customers have commented that the dichroic glass jewelry has been the mainstay of their wardrobe accessories.
