Dichroic glass pendants will usually cost between $20 and $120 depending on the colors, design intricacy and level of craftsmanship required to create them. The amount of labor that goes into the shaping of the glass will also affect the price as will whether it has been combined with a gold or sterling silver setting.
Dichroic glass cabochons make up many of these attractive and popular pendants. The glass artist will first cut the material and then kiln it until it looks almost like a gemstone. When fashioned into a pendant these cabochons are beautiful and they sparkle as they reflect the light. There are a great many different patterns and colors available when you are looking for these pendants.

Unfortunately, photographs do not do this type of art glass much justice compared to what they look like in person. It is extremely difficult to demonstrate the richness and depth of color. The most complex designs have the most layers and it is very difficult to catch the nuances of shading of color no matter how good the photo is.
