During the process of fusing glass, pieces of compatible glass are fired in a kiln at a temperature of 1400 to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit until they are red-hot and melt together. The glass is then fired a second time at a slightly lower temperature to slump into the desired shape and then annealed (a slow cooling process). In each firing, astonishing and unique patterns are formed. The word "dichroic", pronounced Dye-Cro-Ick, is derived from two Greek root words. "Di" for 'two or more' and "Chroma" for 'color'. Thus "dichroic" means "multi-colored". Dichroic Glass is a very high tech glass material that has properties similar to those of camera lenses. Dichroic Glass is a design element that can be used in glass-blowing, bead-making and of course, glass-fusing. Today, due to its fascinating beauty, Dichroic Glass is used extensively by glass and jewelry artists. What's more, caused by variations in the firing process, each piece of Fused Dichroic Glass is unique and results can never be exactly reproduced.

Jewish tradition teaches that the pomegranate is a symbol for righteousness, because it is said to have 613 seeds which corresponds with the 613 mitzvot or commandments of the Torah. For this reason and others, many Jews eat pomegranates on Rosh Hashana. However, the actual number of seeds varies with individual fruits. It is also a symbol of fruitfulness. The pomegranate is one of the few images which appear on ancient coins of Judea as a holy symbol, and today many are stored while not in use with a pair of decorative hollow silver "pomegranates" (rimmonim) placed over the two upper scroll handles. Some Jewish scholars believe that it was the pomegranate that was the forbidden fruit of the Garden of Eden . Pomegranate is one of the Seven Species (Hebrew: Shiv'at Ha-Minim), the types of fruits and grains enumerated in the Hebrew Bible as being special products of the Land of Israel.
