Pendants

Depending on the intricacy of the design and the amount of crafting and colors used to make a dichroic glass pendant, prices range anywhere from $20 to $120. Other factors that adjust the prices charged include whether it is set in sterling silver or gold and how much actual work has gone into shaping the glass.

Many of the dichroic glass pendants are made from dichroic glass cabochons, which are created by glass artists from pieces of dichroic glass that is cut and kilned till the piece almost resembles a gemstone. These cabochons, set in a pendant, look fantastic especially when they catch the light and there is a vast variety of colors and patterns available.

Purchasing an already made dichroic pendant online, or any dichroic glass jewelry for that matter, is not as easy as it may seem. Many times photos of dichroic art glass jewelry do not give a very realistic, or true to life, depiction of the actual depth and richness of color in the piece. Naturally, the more complex the piece of jewelry is and the more layers it has, the more difficult it is to bring all of these shades and nuances of color out via a photograph. In some ways this works to your advantage, as if you see a photograph of a piece of jewelry online and you buy it, you will most likely be very pleasantly surprised with the quality once you receive the actual dichroic glass pendant or other jewelry.

If you are concerned that the dichroic glass necklace you buy has specific colors in it, you may want to communicate personally with the artist who made it and double check that the colors are what you are after. Much dichroic glass jewelry is fashioned in private studios by artists and it is usually fairly easy to contact them via their website. And as with any artist, they are usually very passionate about their particular works of art and are more than happy to communicate with you about your purchase and choice of dichroic glass pendants.

While most pendants are made from cabochons which are usually left as they are fashioned, some designers will etch patterns on the cabochon–either designs, or a picture of something, or even letters. Naturally, the extra work put into these usually make them a little more expensive to purchase, but they are still very reasonably priced.
