Nestled amidst the majestic mountains of the
Old Pueblo, a motley crew of gifted artisans
are busy at work.
Through sweat, burns and some well placed
Dichroic glass, they forge with flame and
Borosilicate a myriad of captivating
and unique designs.
______________________
Dichroic glass is a wonderous creation by the space industry.
By using a high temperature vacuum furnace;, titanium, silicon, and magnesium
are deposited on the glass, then later vaporized creating a brilliant array of colors.
Galactic Glass incorporates the shimmering pieces into our designs and twists it
into a fluid vortex of colors. The end result is a unique piece of wearable art
that will bring years of joyful compliments to all that wear them.

Galactic Pendants:
These brilliant pendants are handmade utilizing the finest quality
borosilicate or "boro" glass, dichroic or "dichro" glass, and colored
borosilicate. We offer two styles; The Vortex Pendants and The Galaxy
pendants. They both have a very three dimensional look to them that is
nearly impossible to illustrate in a picture. We pride ourselves in making
the highest quality loop on the market today. We pull the loop out of the
pendant itself, this brings the art into the loop and necklace. Then we
fully fuse the loop to the back, no cold attachments allowed at Galactic
Glass. The loops are approximately 5-8mm in diameter, making them easy to
place on many different kinds of necklaces. The pendants range in size
from 2.5cm to 3.5cm wide, 3.5cm to 6cm long. They weigh between 10 to 30
