The following samples are the approximate color variations and shades of dichroic glass that we use.

All of the eight colors that we use are shown - dark blue, light blue, both blues, green, red, pink, gold, purple and orange. The autumn color choice is a combination of dark blue, red, gold and orange. Dichroic Glass has many more colors available however, we feel that these colors maintain the highest degree of consistency in their variation of colors. If there is a specific color that you are interested in, please contact us as we would love to work with you to create that very special memorial.

Please keep in mind that we cannot control the shades of most colors since Dichroic Glass is extremely difficult to work with and has a tendency to change somewhat during the kiln firing process. The main characteristic of Dichroic Glass is that it has a transmitted color and a completely different reflective color. Furthermore these two colors shift depending on the angle of view.

All colors except red and dark blue will have varying shades associated with them and can appear as light, medium or dark in color. Pink, green, gold, purple and orange normally fall into the light to dark range, light blue generally appears either light or medium in shade with dark blue fairly consistent as a royal blue. There is no actual red color in Dichroic Glass since their "Candy Apple Red" produces an orange red when fired however, through many hours of experimentation, Linda has been able to create an almost pure red color from this very unpredictable and unique glass.

We are always experimenting with our colors, as we have with the red and dark blue, to achieve a consistent shade quality and, as results develop, they will be posted for you on this page.

We hope this helps you decide upon a color selection that you will be proud to wear and keep forever, if you have any concerns, questions or a would prefer a different color or combination of colors,  please feel free to contact us at any time and we will do our best to work with you.
 


NOTE - The following colors have been photographed and scanned and in no way shows the extreme beauty and brightness of Dichroic Glass. These are shown strictly as a guide to help you in your color selection only. This unusual glass must be viewed in person in order to appreciate the full beauty and liveliness that only Dichroic Glass can achieve.

Visible style - showing a small amount of cremains in the center of the pendant.     

Please note - new style change as of February 14, 2012

In a continuing effort to provide you with the highest quality memorials possible, the settings on all silver Memory Pendants, as of February 14, 2012, will be created using our new bail design. Besides being more attractive, the new bail provides a much lighter weight alternative than our former design.

Non-visible style - the cremains are covered with a piece of opaque dichroic glass.
