Fractured Memories Pendant II - Glass Laser Hologram
$30.00
Sold Out
A small wearable hologram! A reflective hologram, multiple exposures from a pattern of cut mirror illuminated by laser light in an optical laboratory. Gives lovely, saturated colors in a wide variety of patterns as the piece is rotated and tilted. Very reflective, almost like metallic foil. Pendant bail adhered with strong 2-part epoxy. One of my first attempts at making jewelry!
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. All my holograms are handmade - emulsion coating, exposures, and processing is all done in-house. Each is a unique original.
Recorded in dichromated gelatin on Nov. 7, 2021. Produced using dual 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. After exposure, the plate was dehydrated with a series of isopropanol baths prior to final development with a heat gun.
After development and processing, the delicate holographic layer is laminated behind a thick sheet of glass. The edges are ground and beveled with a series of diamond lapping wheels. 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. DCG is sensitive to moisture. Please keep the hologram dry for a long life.

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