Dichroism

Easily distracted by colourful and shiny items, this week I'm fascinated with Dichroic Glass. It's a type of glass that contains multiple micro-layers of metal oxides which give the glass dichroic optical properties. Dichroic glass was originally developed by NASA for use in satellite optics but is more commonly used for art, jewellery and tiles. It has been used as a simple but effective accent to the beautiful cocktail ring below which comes from Lauren Urban's Etsy store.
