Item Name:
Dichro Bracelet Image - Vertus Stripes
SKU:
B39
Description:
This bracelet image is a laser-etched design made on a strip of borosilicate dichroic glass. The image is produced using a high-powered laser to etch crisp, clean detail into the dichroic surface, creating a graphic pattern that can be featured as a focal element in fused jewelry work. In lampworking and fused glass studios, these etched dichro strips are commonly used when you want a repeatable, high-contrast design without having to build the pattern by hand. The strip format is ideal for bracelet projects, and the etched image can also be layered with additional dichro or clear glass to create depth and a dimensional look after firing.
How it is used:
- Clean the dichro strip to remove fingerprints and dust before assembly
- Decide whether the etched image will be used as a top layer or sandwiched between layers for added depth
- Layer the strip with compatible glass, commonly a clear cap layer to protect the etched surface and enhance the 3-D effect
- Place the assembled piece on kiln shelf paper or a prepared kiln shelf and fire using an appropriate fusing schedule for the glass system
- After firing, coldwork the edges as needed for comfort and fit, especially for bracelet wear
- Drill, slump, or mount the finished strip into bracelet findings depending on your project style
