Crinklized Blue and Gold CBS Dichroic on thin black, the creased foil surface sparking between cool and warm.
Crinklized coating has a finely creased, foil like surface that fractures the color into countless tiny facets. In this Blue and Gold version, the creases throw blue from one angle and warm gold from another, so the sheet sparkles as it moves.
Backed by thin black, the coating turns dense and mirror bright, and the crinkle facets read sharply against the dark. The gold warms the field while the blue keeps it cool in the highlights.
A lively surface for capped jewelry, accents, and fused work that wants glint rather than a smooth coat. CBS Dichroic on thin black COE96.

Working Notes
Firing Guidelines and Helpful Tips
Dichroic results vary by kiln, firing schedule, base glass, capping, layering, and coating orientation. These are guidelines, not guarantees. Follow the glass and coating manufacturer's guidance, and test a small piece first when the final look matters.
- Coating side orientation and clear capping can each change the final look, so test first when the result matters.
- Appearance may vary after firing, and the metallic color shift can read differently by viewing angle and lighting.
- Cut and handle the coated surface with care.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is CBS Dichroic glass?
Dichroic glass has ancient roots, including the Roman Lycurgus Cup. Modern dichroic glass was advanced through NASA era vacuum deposition work, where ultra thin metal coatings were applied to transparent surfaces for optical protection. Today, dichroic glass uses thin metal oxide layers on the glass surface to create a metallic color that shifts with light and viewing angle. CBS Dichroic glass applies this coating over a base glass, and the coating is on one side only.
