The Fused Glass Process. The cutting of the glass and design is done individually making each piece unique. After the glass is patterned it is fused in a kiln. There are a few different types of glass that are used in these creations. The dichroic glass makes the pieces sparkle. This metallic coated glass was discovered by NASA when developing a material for space shuttles to re-enter the atmosphere without melting. It was discovered that this iridescent material sparkled and could be made in a rainbow of colors. Shanti combines spiritual energy and design to make this jewelry a treasure to wear and a unique expression of art.
