This is the most amazing iridescent dichroic glass pendant and post earring set! The color is a fascinating combination of metallic rainbow hues that glisten and reflect! There is an impression of a graceful tree branch in the top section of the pendant. The pendant measures 3/4 inch at the widest point and 1.75 inches long (2 cm x 4.5 cm). It is hung on an elegant sterling silver leaf bail. The post earrings are 1/2 inch squares fitted with sterling silver posts and comfortable wide acrylic backings.

This is an artist's favorite and will grace any fine jewelry collection. Wear this with a silver snake chain or less formally, with a black leather cord. Chain and cord are NOT included. This is for the pendant and earrings only.

I had a great deal of fun making this colorful pendant and couldn't wait to see how it turned out in the kiln! There are many layers of color and texture. The result was most pleasing.

Black leather cords are sold separately in this shop and will ship free with the purchase of a pendant.

This is a fine example of dichroic glass! Dichroic glass was first developed by NASA as part of their satellite mirror systems. The exceptionally thin dichroic coatings are applied to the 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 and it is very difficult to truly capture this quality in a photograph. The pendant and earring set is more eye-catching in "real life".

I wear my handmade jewelry almost every day. Strangers 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. Customers have often mentioned that the dichroic jewelry is their favorite.
