A Brief History of Dichroic Glass

April 29, 2008

glass jewelryDichroic glass is a glass with multiple micro-layers of metal oxides which gives the glass dichroic optical properties.

 

Dichroic glass’s origins begin in the 1950’s and 1960’s when NASA developed them for use as optical filters — as a shield against cosmic radiation and many other uses – in satellite mirrors.

 

These days, dichroic is commonly found in glass jewelry form.  By fusing with other glass in multiple firings, each dichroic glass has a unique look and cannot be reproduced.
