Description
These are real Dichroic Coated glass Rondels with the front face itself coated, not a thin piece of dichroic laminated to the back side. These real Dichroic coated treasures will catch the light differently with each facet or textured detail of the jewel. It is hard to describe the stunning effect. Each jewel will have variations of color which gives them a dynamic look, changing with light angles. The edge thickness can also vary slightly, the small ones at times slightly less than 1/8″ and the larger jumbo jewels running a little thicker at times.
Although they are first quality, they may vary slightly in color and effect from batch to batch and may have an occasional speck in the coating. This is part of the coating process. Additionally, like any dichroic coating, it can and may be sensitive to chemicals or fluxes.

These Dichroic Rondels are perfectly stunning and beautiful! The only disappointment I have is that I somehow thought that colors would be truer to what is pictured on your website. Perhaps putting rosey colored glass next to where they’ll be on my stained glass cabinet inserts, along with the thin bevels I bought from you will help the illusion of a soft rose color? Perhaps I am trying to use them in a way they were not intended?! My other question is: Can they be cut, rather than keeping them whole? Thanks so much for your great customer service and lovely products. So valuable to have The Glass House Store creating such useful, beautiful glass! Wishing I could pop in to take a class!!

Dichroic glass is very hard to photograph because they change color with the angle of light. Because it is a metallic coating, the color will vary. You can cut them but the rondels aren’t flat and may not break where you want them to.
