What makes us different.
Dichroic and stained glass jewelry
and home accessories are unique and exciting. The unusual designs in combinations
of stained, dichroic and fused glass will enhance your individuality. The
jewelry is designed by Connie Bennett, hand crafted by artisans and are
original works of wearable art. The pieces are cut, wrapped in copper and
lead free silver toned solder is applied. All jewelry is available in both sterling
silver plate and
24 carat gold plated finish. Each design is fully copyrighted to protect
the artist. Most pins can also be worn as a pendant.
Dichroic is a Greek word that
means "two colors." Dichroic glass transmits one color and reflects another
color. What's so intriguing about the dichroic coating is that all
light energy is either reflected or transmitted. The coating itself is colorless.
Jewelry made from dichroic glass has such vibrant, bright, sparkling colors
because the coating forms a crystal structure comprised of many layers,
and the layers reflect different wavelengths of light which produces an
iridescent effect, changing color as the
pieces move in the light. All pieces are available in many different
stones. Go to the Stones page to see
colors.
Connie is always available to do custom
designs, so please contact us with your individual needs.
