Reminiscent of that perfect piece of beach glass you found while strolling along the shoreline, being made of recycled glass gives it a Green edge. This vibrant triangle pendant is made from glass obtained by smacking a used bottle or cut carefully with a tile saw. Either ways, the tops and bottoms are removed from the bottles and curved pieces are hand cut from the glass cylinders. When using stained glass, the flat pieces of glass are carefully selected for color and hand cut the shapes. All pieces are tumbled in a rock polisher for several days to get a beach glass texture.
This beautiful pendant comes with a 16" black cord with magnetic clasp for easy use.
Glass Dimensions: 1.5" x 1.5" x 1"

About Jody
 "My interest in environmental issues dates back to the early seventies and the first Earth Day. This early commitment has influenced the life I have pursued.
In a stained glass class in 1983, I realized the possibilities of combining my passions to create Recycled Glass Jewelry. This early effort has evolved into my current line of handcrafted Earth Friendly Jewelry. Stained glass artists supply me with a wide array of colored glass remnants and recycling centers are my source for bottles and jars. I’m always on the lookout for anything made of glass that I can saw, cut or break into raw materials for my jewelry. This reclaimed glass is cut into the desired shapes and either fired in a kiln or processed in a rock tumbler. The kiln fired glass retains the shiny surface and the pieces of tumbled glass are etched to a beach glass texture. These individual pieces of Glass Jewelry are then carefully fitted with hypoallergenic surgical steel wires. The results are guaranteed to delight."
