Aztec Plait Bracelet Image
B6
Aztec Plait Bracelet Image is a high-detail design that has been laser etched onto borosilicate dichroic glass to produce a clean, crisp picture with strong visual contrast. The image is supplied as a dichroic strip intended for jewelry and decorative work, and it can be stacked with additional etched strips to build depth and create a layered, dimensional look in the finished piece. This style of etched dichro is commonly chosen when you want repeatable imagery with the color-shift and sparkle that dichroic coatings bring to pendants and bracelet components.
In lampworking, this strip is typically used as an inlay or layered accent in borosilicate work. You can cut the strip into smaller sections, then tack it onto a warmed base and carefully bring it up to temperature so the glass can be fully sealed in without trapping chill marks. Many artists layer two or more etched images with a small separation or a clear cap to create a 3-D effect, then shape the assembly into a bracelet focal, pendant, or bar component. It can also be incorporated into fused work by layering and firing, depending on your studio process and compatibility requirements.
