Dichroic glass earrings are all the rage. They are fabulous handmade earrings that are available in many colors and styles. Dichroic glass was designed by NASA for use in satellite mirrors. It is created by adding various metals to the surface of the glass in a vacuum chamber. It is then turned into fantastic glass beads that are turned into numerous handmade jewelry items including earrings. The richness and depth of the colors in the dichroic glass is untouched by any other kind of glass beads.
Handmade earrings often use dichroic glass beads as well as Swarovski crystals and other fused glass beads. They can be made or bought in a variety of shapes, styles, and colors. Handmade earrings are often part of a set that can include a necklace and bracelet.
Earrings are one of the most popular types of jewelry worn today. Many women have multiple piercings in each ear. Cartilage piercings are as popular now as they ever were and allow more space for extra piercing. It is not uncommon to see a woman with three earrings in each and sometimes a lot more. Nowadays men also have a lot more piercings than before. Instead of just having one earring in either the left or the right ear, it is a common practice to have both ears pierced at least once.
