Lotus Earrings - Rainbow Blue

Made in Asheville, North Carolina; the dichroic glass used in this pair of drop style earrings was developed by NASA in the 1960s for different scientific uses. The colors are created from multiple layers of microscopic sheets of different metals. Dichroic glass creates an optical surprise that changes the color of the metal depending on the angle of light that is hitting it. Each sheet of glass is carefully formulated with the dichroic glass and fired in a 1400 degree kiln several times. Then the glass is made into earrings that have sterling silver findings. The colors in these earrings are a variety of royal blue, pink, green and yellow that seem to create slivers of rainbows that sparkle and shine with an iridescent quality. Features a sterling silver hook style back with clear silicon backs.

NOTE:  Since these are handmade, slight variations in coloring can occur.
