Dichroic Glass
Dichroic glass is a high-tech spin-off of the space industry. "Dichroic" is defined as the property of having more than one colour, especially when viewed from different angles or from transmitted to reflected light.
To get this effect, thin layers of metallic oxides, such as titanium, silicon and magnesium are deposited upon the surface of the glass in a high temperature, vacuum furnace.
The resulting colour is determined by the individual oxide compositions and the coatings sequence, totalling about 700 angstroms thick (3 to 5 millionths of an inch)
There is effectively no absorption of visual light by the materials. There are no dyes, paints or gels and it withstands relatively high temperatures and is not affected by moisture, solvents or most acids.
No two pieces of jewellery are ever identical!
