Tempering - Tempered fused glass jewelry       If a sheet of glass jewelry is blast chilled with cold air from the glass annealing point, the glass surface contracts over the interior and forms a high strain fused dichroic glass jewelry that is more resistant to breaking from light blows, and this is called tempered dichroic glass jewelry, which is required in architectural installations (shower doors, fused dichroic glass jewelry entry doors and door surrounds) because when it does break, it does not form sharp shards, but small curved edge pieces (and tiny splinters.) Tempered glass jewelry is usually identified with an etched trademark in one corner. With Polaroid sunfused glasses against the polarized clear sky (or a polarizer), tempered dichroic glass jewelry appears to have a dark net of lines running through it as the strain pattern is revealed. If the surface of tempered fused dichroic glass jewelry is broken with a sharp point, the whole shatters.
