Dichroic glass is created using layers of metallic oxides. The beautiful colorplay for which these beads are known occurs when light strikes the glass. Every piece of dichroic glass displays three colors: a color that is reflected, a color that is transmitted and a reflective color that is viewable from a 45-degree angle. These properties allow the colors in this spectacular glass to change as light hits it from different angles.
The metallic neon spiral on this design looks remarkably like the dichroic glass bead that tops it! The end of each of these hair accessories is adorned with a breathtaking dichroic glass bead in beautiful blues, nestled into a silver plated filigree bead cap. A vintage Swarovski Jet margarita (flower shaped) crystal occupies the center position. A Swarovski Capri Blue bicone crystal sits below. Silver plated heishi beads complete the design. The hair sticks are hand crafted of bone carved into elegant spirals and dyed elegant black, finished with a ultra metallic neon blue foil spiral, under layers of protective clear enamel. These one-of-a-kind hair accessories measure 5 1/2" from end to end.
