Bead and Jewelry Supply - Dichroic Glass Beads

I just love dichroic glass beads.  These beads are carefully crafted so that they transmit and reflect different colors.  Like lampwork beads, dichroic beads are handcrafted and are often one-of-a-kind designs (it's hard to get perfectly identical beads when melting glass!).  These beads are extremely eye catching and are usually made in mirror-like jewel tones.  I think of opals whenever I see dichroic glass, as it has the same refractive, color-changing effect that changes with the angle of your perspective.  Dichroic glass beads work well as focal beads in a pendant design, or choose a few matched beads to craft a special bracelet or earring set.
