This ring features a piece of dichroic glass fused with titanium and set in sterling silver. Dichroic glass displays multiple colors due to thin-film interference, a technology also used in aerospace applications such as NASA optics and instrumentation.
Details:
-
Material: Titanium-infused dichroic glass set in sterling silver (92.5% silver, 7.5% copper)
-
Appearance: Shimmering, multi-colored glass with reflective and refractive effects
-
Formation: Dichroic glass is created by layering micro-thin coatings of metals on glass, producing color shifts depending on the light angle
-
Physical Properties: Mohs hardness 5–6 (glass); durable titanium layer adds stability
-
Educational Value: Demonstrates thin-film interference, optical properties of materials, and practical applications of dichroic coatings in science and technology
A sterling silver titanium dichroic glass ring that combines wearable art with scientific innovation.
