Dichroic glass is manufactured to change colors under different lighting conditions and viewing angles. The word dichroic comes from two Greek roots: “di” meaning two and “chroma” meaning colors. The name refers to the way in which the glass can shift colors, displaying multiple hues depending on your angle of viewing and ambient lighting conditions. Dichroic glass dates back as far as the fourth century AD. This ancient color-changing glass has very few surviving examples, but the most famous is the “Lycurgus Cup” of ancient Rome. In the modern era, dichroic glass came from research conducted by NASA. Their creation was deemed “chameleon glass”, and it was intended to protect astronauts from the negative effects and harsh glare of unfiltered sunlight. In dichroic filters, the coated glass also acts to shield cosmic radiation. These fantastic studs have a rainbow iridescent chameleon/dichroic central heart with ripples that resemble the water refraction/caustics of a swimming pool, and are surrounded by a wavy abstract open silver frame. 925 Sterling Silver.
