Fashion industry is evolving owing it to the new advances in materials development of these exclusive design order handmade jewellery. For instance, the simple fibers of the past have been reinvented to be fire and crease resistant. Because of this innovation, more designs are created thus creating another wave in the fashion industry. The same goes for glass jewellery.

This concept is also applicable to contemporary jewellery with the introduction of dichroic glass. Its roots trace back to entirely different industries a hundred years ago in Germany where its technology has been used to diagnose diseases so much so using it in heat-seeking missiles. It has also been used in aerospace industry in the United States.

Creating this glass, which revolutionized designer glass jewellery, involves
the deposition of quartz crystals and metal oxides (titanium, silicon, and magnesium) onto clear glass. The term dichroic means seeing two colors from two different angles. The melting of the glass brings further depth in that a kaleidoscope of colors can be observed, much like peacock feathers.

Handmade glass jewellery in itself is a very skilled art, more so with the use of dichroic glass, which has a different set of qualities than most glasses. With careful and skillful craftsmanship, one can produce exquisite pieces that can be at par with diamonds in terms of the way the colors play with light. The positive side to it is that it costs just a fraction of what diamonds cost. And one of the good things in using dichroic glass is that it is impossible to create two identical pieces because of the layering and unique characteristics of each glass.
