I assemble 3 layers of glass with the Dichroic Glass in the middle and fuse in my kiln. It is then ground and shaped and refired again to anneal it and give it a smooth and shiny appearance. Each pendant is then either wire wrapped, or beaded around with seed beads or has a jewelry bail attached to it. I also include the ribbon, chain, or black silk cord with it. The pictures do not show how beautiful the Dichroic Glass is. It sparkles and shines in the light with a reflected color and a transmitted color. You must see these in person to appreciate the beauty of it.
