Back in 2017, we were invited to tour the Vitro Architectural Glass Factory in Meadville, PA. We were amazed by the scale at which they produced their glass, but also by how closely their process resembles the one I experience on my own in the hot shop....mix/melt, gather, shape, cool, cut.
We were simply overwhelmed by the beauty of their mountains of tinted scrap glass to which they gave us full access equipped with buckets, gloves, and safety goggles to collect as much raw material as we could carry, back to our studio. We sat on our hoard for nearly 5 years before finally finding the perfect way to honor these locally produced industrial scraps.
The completed pieces were showcased @pghglasscenter for their Gathered Locally Exhibition.
Initially Intended as a small run of jewelry for a local glass gallery, the attention these pieces have recieved has sent me back into production and I am therefore making these pieces available on a pre-order basis. As my supply of this glass is limited, I will only be producing pieces as ordered in small batches. Please bear with me as your glass wearables will be ready to ship 4-6 weeks after you place your order.

While this is one of our heftiest necklaces, we find that the chain length allows for the bulk of the weight to be held by the chest, and not your neck. That said, if you are not accustomed to larger jewelry, you may find our smaller necklaces easier to wear.
This piece measures 3.5” x 2.5” and hangs on an adjustable gold fill chain 18”-22” long and weighs approximately 6 oz.
