Item Description

This pendant is hung from a handmade black silk ribbon that accents the colors in the cabochon. The artist used a sterling silver bail because of her love for silver/copper combinations. The copper has been coated with a microcrystalline wax to protect the patina giving it an Olde World look. It measures approximately 1 3/8 inches in diameter.

Item Special Note

Kim is a retired teacher who finally has the time to devote to melting glass, playing with metals, and creating one of a kind jewelry pieces. She has worked with glass for over twenty-five years, in one temperature or another and was drawn into the world of borosilicate glass after working solely with soft glass for about four years. With this glass, boro as it is called; opening the kiln in the morning is always a surprise!  All of her glass has been annealed in a digitally controlled kiln, a very important thing to look for when buying glass jewelry.
