Dichroic (διχροϊκό) translates from Greek "as two colors" but in reality the array of shifting colors caught by this thin layer of metallic oxides is remarkable. The Dichroic Stripe series combines the subtleties in that reflection with a combination of patterns on a black base, creating a complex design in a very narrow space. Holes for the sterling silver earwires are drilled and fire-polished in the kiln because we feel that is more sophisticated and worth the extra effort. No two pairs are exactly alike, so you will receive the earrings pictured.
