This wire wrapped necklace has a Dichroic glass pendant. This beautiful piece of handmade glass is purple / burgundy with hints of green/yellow. It measures approximately 30x40mm. The sparkle in this piece of glass is amazing. It is so hard to capture how beautiful this piece is in pictures. I used non tarnish silver plated wire to wrap the glass, make the decorative swirls, and to form the bail. The pendant hangs from a 18 inch silver plated chain. A silver plated lobster clasp was added for the closure. Dichroic glass is glass treated with various metal oxides to make it appear to have many colors. Often used in jewelry, It is made by firing several layers of glass in a kiln. Depending on the effect desired, the glass can be fired many times at a variety of settings, adding more layers if necessary. Dichroic glass is colorful and can be made in a variety of different shapes and colors.
