A good place to start is tie tacks for men.

The pieces shown were created by using Bullseye fusible black glass.  The shaped piece of black glass was placed into a kiln.  Wonderfully colored dichroic pieces were cut and placed on top of the black.  Then a piece of clear Bullseye was laid over the dichroic.  The glass was fused to 1400 0F. 

 

Next you might want to make broaches.  Frog


The same wonderful dichroic is used in this small frog broach.  Fuse some wire into the piece
and put some small beads on the wire.  Finish by adding a pin bar to the back of the glass.

TIP: Use industrial strength E6000 glue to fasten all metal to glass or a good epoxy..
