Mother Lode Large Handmade Dichroic Fused Glass Pendant Multi-Colored

This is a large round dichroic glass cabochon pendant in a silver plated setting. The palette of colors in this fully fused glass cabochon is cool and brilliant like an embedded mother lode of gems. There is an entire universe of beauty in this glass. The multi-colored bits have metallic colors, patterns and textures. The shine of violets, blues, and copper against a silver background will capture attention for a long time. The eye will get trapped in the deep richness of this cabochon. This is a one-of-a-kind piece of dichroic glass jewelry.
The setting is silver plated and made in Mexico. Because the plating can be scratched, the pendant should be stored in it's own box and not be jumbled with other pieces of sharp jewelry.
It measures 1.75 inches wide by 2 inches high, including the wide bail. The setting beautifully frames the brilliant colors in the pendant and will require a thick necklace to support the pendant.
Necklace options may be purchased separately from the necklace section of this shop. Some examples are shown above.
Wear this pendant against bare skin or with a sweater. It will beautifully embellish and grace any neckline.

FAQ Dichroic glass was first developed by NASA as part of their satellite mirrors. The exceptionally thin coatings are applied to 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. This is a jewelry box favorite with many of my customers.
Shipping The jewelry set will ship by USPS First Class mail and arrive in a pretty padded purple box all wrapped in a purple ribbon!
