These three well-matched pendant and dangle earrings are a "must have" jewelry set. The dichroic glass in these pieces has a moody nature that can range from silver to blue to amber. The dicro in these pieces shimmers and shines especially well! Accents of black "twigs" slash their way through the cabochons. The trio is deeply capped in clear, adding depth and intrigue.

The earrings will flash in the light as you move your head and will draw some attention. The earrings or pendant can be worn separately and can be combined with other silver jewelry for a variation in style. The pendant measures 5/8 inch wide x 1 inch long (.8cm x 2.5cm) and the earrings are 1/2 inch wide x 1 inch long (1.25 cm x 2.5cm). The pendant is hung by a silver plated fish bail and the earrings have silver plated bails and sterling silver ear wires.

This set will be great to wear to work or out to dinner in that "special" little black dress. Dress it up with a sterling silver omega or snake chain or dress it down with a black leather cord. Chains and cords are NOT included.

I wanted to make a set that would be young at heart and simple. The black lines with the dichroic background did just that! These were the first treasures I lifted from the kiln.

Black leather cords can be purchased separately from this shop and will ship free with the purchase of this set.

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! This piece is has it's own inspiration and you should not see another one just like this.
