Dichroic Fused Glass Earrings S3 269 270 271

The dichroic glass cabochon for these earrings are all handmade, by me, with love.
They make lovely gifts. Perfect for Mother’s Day.

Fused in my glass kiln to a very high temperature, 1500 degrees F and annealed for strength.

The cabochons are formed from 2 layers of glass stacked on top of each other. Carefully hand-cut coloured fusing glass Coe 90 on the bottom. The top a full layer of precious dichroic glass.

When they come out of the kiln I am like a child in a sweetie shop, they look so delicious.

The dichroic layer rather magically reflects or refracts different colours as they catch the light (the word dichroic comes from Greek and means 2 coloured).

The back of the cabachons are attached to little silver plated bails using E6000 strongest adhesive and I then attach these to sterling silver hooks so you can be sure they are safe for your ears.

I post these out in a sweet little white gift box. The boxes are 4 x 5 cm so you can see from the photos the approximate size of the earrings which do vary slightly in size. 
I make no promise of symmetry and they are not designed to be, they are handcut glass and glass has a mind of its own and when fusing in the kiln that does its own thing too.

Made with and by Joy to be given with love.

The earrings are all ready to post with postage charged as Royal Mail 1st class large letter.
