Hello all once again!  So, we have been busy of late with a big move and lots of goings on, but we are back in action and have a bunch of exciting new designs!  Here are a couple that are now available @

NEW EMERALD DICHROIC GLASS EARRINGS

Here is a peek at the newest pair of dichroic art glass earrings featured on 

forthepeoplejewelry.com

They are made with a lightly metallic base glass and embedded dichroic glass elements.  The ear wires are solid sterling silver.

AND SOME MORE CUFF LINKS...

These brand new dichroic art cuff links are constructed in such a way that a kind of patchwork design is created.  A nice mix of both warm copper/gold and cool green/blue coloring.  Finished with sterling silver plated fasteners.

NEW CUFF LINKS...

Here is the newest pair of dichroic glass cuff links that are featured on forthepeoplejewelry.com.  These will actually shift color when viewed from different angles - one of the neat visual qualities of dichroic glass art jewelry.  The last pair of dichroic cuff links we shared on this blog were bought within a day's time!  They are getting a great reception so far...thank you.

FOR THE GUYS!!!

Now the guys have a way to sport some of our one-of-a-kind fused dichroic glass art.  These dichroic glass cuff links will surely spruce up any French-cuffed shirt.  They all feature sterling silver plated fasteners.  Many more fused dichroic art cuff links to come as well, and all available on forthepeoplejewelry.com

More earrings to come...

Here are a few of For The People's recent creations that turned out beautifully.

  The metallic texture of the dichroic glass sealed within the pieces gives them an intriguing luminance that is very unique.

Last Week's Event - Oakland Art Murmer

Here are a couple photos of the festivities at the recent First Friday Oakland Art Murmer.  

 We had the opportunity to set up a table at the event and rub elbows with some of the local residents and artists.  

 

In addition to having a ton of fun there, we received an excellent reception for our dichroic fused glass jewelry that is also featured on forthepeoplejewelry.com  

New Creations...

Here are a few new creations that I am personally excited about.  Upon opening the kiln after the cooling phase, these were some of the most impressive beauties.  And now these dichroic fused glass pendant necklaces are available on the forthepeoplejewelry.com  

They all have a kind of patchwork appearance that creates a very original look.  Definitely statement pieces here.

Recently Created and Sold...

This beauty was recently created and then sold in the forthepeoplejewelry.com dichroic jewelry shop yesterday.  The design turned out beautifully is sure to make someone happy...

What is dichroic and fusing glass anyways?

Some people call it dicrylic glass jewelry, some call it acrylic glass jewelry, and some even call it dicroak glass jewelry, but the proper name is dichroic glass jewelry.  Dichroic fused glass art jewelry is the specialty of this blog.

 The raw glass used in the construction of each wearable artwork comes in small sheets from the factory.  Each different design has either a very thin coating of oxidized/iridized metal or opaque color patterning on the surface.  

The hand tools seen here are necessary for the proper manipulation of the raw glass.  Shaping and cutting are done primarily by scoring the sheets with a diamond tipped glass cutter and then breaking along that score using pliers.

Where it all happens...

Here we have the glass studio where all of For The People's creations (on forthepeoplejewelry.com) come to life. Lots of storage and sturdy furniture pieces are integral to the glass making process.

The ceramic and steel kiln on the left gets up to 1600 degrees fahrenheit, at which point the dichroic glass actually liquifies and fuses to itself...we will talk more about each tool and material of the trade and its role in the fusing process down the road.
