    Default Dichroic Glass in Sterling

    I've made soooo many Dichroic Glass cabochons and not got around to setting them....
    This one was calling to me and I wanted to try out my new fretz texturing hammer!
    It measures 43 x 28mm so is definately eye catching ;-)

    I set the rear very simply with a tube bail. Nice and wide so it will take a thicker chain.

    Wow, that's an eye-popper. I love the colours of the glass and, as per usual, your backside is a sight to behold

    I'm hoping for world peace but I'd also like something shiny as well...

    I'm not often a big fan of dichro stuff, but that's gorgeous Nic!

    Love the texturing - it echos the glass texture really well too

    Awww thanks all -
    Hey MoonCottage I'm honoured that you would take so much pleasure from looking at my behind (ROFL - wipes tea from monitor)
    Jason - I've recently fallen in love with Abalone again too...One of my suppliers is making Abalone settings with resin tops (gorgeous!). The top of both the Thoth pieces is also Dichroic (it has soooo many flavours!!)
    mizgeorge - glad I could convert you if only on one piece, lol

    The glass did all the work, it's just two layers of funky Dichroic kiln fused & shaped with my grinder...
    (Arrrgh when will I learn to preserve the mystery rofl)
    I love dichroic glass but hate the wibbly wobbly edges that so much of it has,
    so I make my own
