Collection: Stardust Glass Earrings

We call this type of glass "Stardust" Glass because it reminds us of looking above at night into the universe and seeing the multitudes of stars sparkling across the sky.

The Stardust  Earrings are created using Dichroic Glass. This special glass was developed by the space industry for window filters on space craft. It is created by depositing several very thin layers of rare metal oxides on the surface of a piece of glass. The particles are then bombarded with an intense electron beam in a high temperature vacuum chamber. Dichroic‘ is defined as the property of exhibiting more than one colour when viewed from different angles. Dichroic glass possesses a similar effect that is witnessed in nature on insect wings, peacock and hummingbird feathers. When the dichroic glass is fired in the kiln, its reflective qualities are enhanced to make it sparkle and shine an increased amount.
