There is a huge variety of the dichroic glass ring on sale these days, with most of them absolutely stunning as far as design. Of course, when making a ring, choosing the piece of dichroic glass to use is important as it is one singular piece that does need to be outstanding and stunning in order to really show off the patterns.
Many dichroic glass rings have large dichroic glass gems set in them to the point that some of the glass overshadows, and is wider than the ring itself. These make great fashion statements and are usually a topic of conversation whenever worn. Sometimes the dichroic glass used to make these rings is left in its natural state, meaning that the hue and design is natural and nothing has been done to alter it. Other times designs are etched onto them, such as flower designs or other more modern designs.
Most of the dichroic rings on sale use a sterling silver base. Silver seems to go very well with dichroic glass, and it matches perfectly no matter what color hues are in the glass itself. Some of the rings are adjustable in that the silver band is not closed but is left open. This not only allows the ring to be worn by different people in a ‘one size fits all’ style, but it also allows the ring to be worn on different fingers of the hand. More often than not the dichroic glass cabochons used on the rings are left an irregular shape, which only serves to add to the charm and individualism of each piece of jewelry. Other favourite designs are oval shaped and less frequently square or rectangular.
Prices for a sterling silver dichroic glass ring vary anywhere from around $5 to $100. While this can depend on the materials used, it often also depends on the design of the ring and the artisan or studio that produces the jewelry.
It is also possible to buy dichroic jewelry sets that include a ring, earrings and necklace. Sometimes you will also find that the set includes a bracelet as well, although it can be difficult to find enough of the one type of dichroic fused glass to make a matching set, especially from the smaller fashion jewelry studios. Of course, some variation in the shading, intensity of colors and actual design is part and parcel of wearing the dichroic glass ring and necklace or earring set as it adds to the individuality and charm of this style of jewelry and is part of the reason for its popularity.
