Cathy Jo Wheeler
Cathy Jo Wheeler’s jewelry has been described as playful, whimsical, funky, and fun. She designs jewelry using dichroic glass.

Each piece is hand cut from dichroic glass, and the different patterns of glass are fused together in a kiln. She uses sterling wire to freeform wrap each piece which creates a beautiful way to anchor the piece to the ear, wire, or chain.
