Box of Jewels

I love creating with dichroic pendants and here I’ve designed a box full of precious jewels! Each bracelet has a custom one-of-a-kind fused dichroic glass pendant. The pendants have been designed with varying colors and sizes of Swarvoski crystals, which are capped in pewter, among sterling silver spacers and toggles. The bracelets average in size from 7” to 7.5” and are available for purchase, just contact us!

Layers & Layers of Glass

Fuse layers of specialty Dichroic glass at high temperatures in a kiln and what do you get. Truly one-of-a-kind glass pendants, earrings and bracelets! As defined by Wikipedia, Dichroic glass is glass containing multiple micro-layers of metal oxides which give the glass Dichroic optical properties.

A little known fact….It was originally developed by NASA and its contractors for use in satellite optics and spacesuit visors.

The word Dichroic is derived from two Greek roots; ‘di’ for two and ‘chroma’ for color. So Dichroic really means ‘two-colored’. Looking at the layers and layers of glass, it is hard to tell just how many colors are actually created.

The fun aspect with Dichroic glass is that it has different color variations depending on the light refraction; creating some of the most intriguing pieces of jewelry.

Visit our Etsy shop to see a selection of bracelets, necklaces and sets featuring Dichroic glass pieces.

Traveling the World for Treasures in Gems

Traveling the world for business or relaxation and seeing such places as Asia, Europe, Mexico, Hawaii, and Australia and the South Seas. These are just a few of the many places that give my In-Laws, Gayle and Lee of Jewelry by CNC the inspiration behind their many custom jewelry designs and faceted gemstone collection.

Gayle began making jewelry as a hobby, creating unique gifts to give their many friends and family. Now just a few years later, the ‘hobby’ has become a business.

She enjoys working with the varieties of gemstones and beads that she gathers from her many travels around the world. Each piece is designed as a labor of love reflected in the many necklaces, earrings, bracelets, anklets, watch bracelets and pendants, which can be purchased individually or combined into Jewelry Sets.

Lee is a Registered Gemologist who deals with loose faceted gemstones, a selection which can be found on their Special Items page. He is the mastermind behind their website with regular updates and once a month ‘Highlights’ of a particular faceted gemstone.
