Item Name:
Dichro Bracelet Image - United
SKU:
B25
Description:
United Bracelet Image is a laser-etched dichroic glass design on a borosilicate dichroic glass substrate. The image is precision-etched using high-powered lasers onto borosilicate dichroic glass in various color shades, resulting in exceptional clarity and detail. The piece is sold as a 1/2" x 4" strip and is specifically designed for glass artists working with fused glass jewelry applications. The dichroic coating creates an iridescent, color-shifting effect that changes appearance based on viewing angle and light source. These etched images serve as design templates or direct components in fused glass bracelet projects, where they can be layered with additional glass sheets to achieve three-dimensional effects and enhanced visual depth.
How it is used:
- Prepare your bracelet blank or base glass pieces to the desired size and shape
- Position the United Bracelet Image strip as a top layer or integrated design element within your glass collage
- Layer additional compatible glass sheets above or below the dichroic image to create depth and visual interest
- Arrange all glass pieces on a kiln shelf lined with appropriate separator or primer
- Fire in a glass fusing kiln following standard fusing schedules for your specific glass types and thicknesses
- Allow the kiln to cool slowly to room temperature to prevent thermal shock and cracking
- Remove the fused bracelet blank from the kiln and finish edges as needed through coldworking or polishing
- Set the finished glass piece into a metal bracelet setting or bezel for wearable jewelry
