Butterfly Necklace, Dichroic Glass Red Coral Onyx Handmade Jewelry

The unique "Flying Free" handmade necklace features an artisan dichroic glass butterfly pendant, red coral frangia and faceted black onyx - jewelry gift for women.

If you love the ethereal beauty of butterflies, you will definitely love the stylish FLYING FREE butterfly pendant necklace. The focal of this handmade necklace is an artisan dichroic glass pendant with a glowing golden yellow butterfly (that color shifts as the angle of the light changes) against a background of black and red. Rich red coral frangia adds texture, faceted black onyx at a bit of sparkle and sterling adds silver glow - all complement the butterfly pendant perfectly. A one of a kind necklace carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the FLYING FREE necklace was created for the discerning woman who adores wearing unique jewelry that no one else will have.

*** What is dichroic glass? Dichroic glass (pronounced dye-crow-ick) is a type of glass that has amazing multi-colored, reflective properties, especially when viewed at different angles. Extreme color shifts can often be seen. NASA originally developed dichroic glass for use in satellite mirrors and it was also used on re-entry tiles of the Space Shuttles. Sheets of glass have a special coating applied to it that involves vaporizing various metal oxides into a fine dust with an electro-gun. The oxide dust settles on and coats hot glass inside an airless vacuum chamber. Needless to say, because of of the complex, expensive procedure, only a handful of companies produce dichroic glass for artists to use for their designs.

The glowing dichroic butterfly pendant is artisan handmade, the golden butterfly slightly raised against the black background.
