Calypso Dream - Glass Hologram Pendant
$35.00
Sold Out
A pendant made from handmade holographic material, sealed in thick glass. This hologram replays an abstract series of colors, squares, lines, and fascinating patterns. The pendant bails are adhered to the back with strong 2-part epoxy. All my holograms are unique originals, made directly from scratch.
Holograms are very difficult to photograph and are much better in person. There is much more depth, dimension of color, and texture to the holographic layer that cannot be described. Please watch the video.
Recorded in dichromated gelatin on Nov. 1, 2021. Produced using scientific-grade lasers: 488 nm Coherent Sapphire and 445 nm Ahura ECDL. Beams combined prior to spatial filtering and final collimation with a telescope mirror.
Emulsion layer formed via mold coating using hydrophobic and hydrophilic silane treatments on opposite sheets of glass. Dehydrated with a series of isopropanol baths prior to final development with a heat gun.
Please note that all holograms, especially DCG holograms, are vulnerable to moisture and humidity. Please store and display in a dry area.
After development and processing, the delicate holographic layer is laminated behind a thick sheet of glass. Pre-teatment of the cover glass with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane improves adhesion of the resin. The edges are ground with a series of diamond lapping wheels, then polished on a buffer to a glossy shine. The result is a jewel-like faceted appearance and an excellent feel in the hand.
The number in the corner is for inventory tracking. It can be easily removed with an alcohol wipe. Holograms are best viewed when illuminated with light coming from a single point, such as a flashlight or spotlight.

Custom work is also available. I love making holograms, and custom orders are the most rewarding. Please contact me for details.
