This bracelet is black with a layer of dichroic glass. Dichroic glass is glass containing multiple micro-layers of metal oxides which give the glass dichroic optical properties. When fired in the kiln, dichroic glass changes its appearance, so every piece of dichroic glass is unique. This particular strip shines every color of the rainbow. The dandelion wish flowers are hand etched into the dichroic with no stencil, so no design will ever be exactly duplicated! The dichroic strip is 4 inches centered on the cuff. At the ends (where the cuff curls around the wrist) are 1 inch squares of translucent teal on either side. Dichroic glass is very difficult to photograph to capture all of the colors at all angles!
How these bracelets are made:
Strips and chips of glass are fused together flat, then shaped at 1500 degrees on a mandrel (wrist-shaped mold) with graphite tongs. Each bracelet is completely unique and for this reason, they are slightly different in size. All of these bracelets fit me, and my wrist measures 7 inches around at the narrowest part. See the shop description for directions on how to measure your wrist. The bracelets would fit a slightly smaller or slightly larger wrist as well.
