ITEM SET: 1950\'s \"ITALY 925\" Handcrafted Modernist Art Glass Pendant Choker & Dichroic Earring Set
Stellar Italian designed 1950\'s Modernist Sterling & Art Glass pendant choker & shimmering Dichroic earring set.
The earrings are set in iridescent particles (see RESEARCH below) which lend a mesmerizing effect to the wearer\'s eyes in any light, but which cause the earrings totransform & sparkle with plum in artificial light. Illustrations 2, 3, & 11, e.g., were taken under a standard 60 watt light bulb as opposed to natural light.
The set is superbly designed: the pendant is enhanced with plum, copper, & green to compliment the earrings. The craftsmanship is superior, with Sterling hardware featuring signatures of either \"ITALY\" or \"925\" in seven separate places.
Modernist Jewelry is, by definition, Art Jewelry. The designation is significant. Museums are defined by quality art. The same holds true for peopleand Art Jewelry. Wearerand jewelry combine to mutually-beneficial, synergistic effect. This set, for example, is the stuff of legend, preserved in perfect condition.
Please consider the illustrations.
RESEARCH
DICHROIC GLASSWikipediaPENDANT MADE FROM DICHROIC GLASSDichroic glass is glass which displays two different colors by undergoing a color change in certain lighting conditions.
One dichroic material is a modern composite non-translucent glass that is produced by stacking layers of glass and micro-layers of metals or oxides which give the glass shifting colors depending on the angle of view, causing an array of colors to be displayed as an example of thin-film optics. The resulting glass is used for decorative purposes such as stained glass, jewelry and other forms of glass art. The commercial title of \"dichroic\" can also display three or more colors (trichroic or pleochroic) and even iridescence in some cases. The term dichroic is used more precisely when labelling interference filters for laboratory use.
Another dichroic glass material first appeared in a few pieces of Roman glass from the 4th century and consists of a translucent glass containing colloidal gold and silver particles dispersed in the glass matrix in certain proportions so that the glass has the property of displaying a particular transmitted color and a completely different reflected color, as certain wavelengths of light either pass through or are reflected.[1] In ancient dichroic glass, as seen in the most famous piece, the 4th-century Lycurgus cup in the British Museum, the glass has a green color when lit from in front in reflected light, and another, purple-ish red, when lit from inside or behind the cup so that the light passes through the glass. This is not due to alternating thin metal films but colloidal silver and gold particles dispersed throughout the glass, in an effect similar to that seen in gold ruby glass, though that has only one color whatever the lighting.[2][3]
