Recycled Glass - The Divine Inspiration Collection - "Egyptian Sunset" Necklace and Earrings (recycled stained glass and vintage jewelry)

This item is made from recycled glass and vintage jewelry. When opening my Christmas decorations, I came across an old Nativity Scene. Once opened completely and all the pieces in place, I noticed that the stained glass connections were weak and the pieces were falling apart. I was heartbroken; this is a beautiful set. So, despondent about the waste of art, I came upon an idea - make jewelry! That is usually my default, anyway. So, I present to you the new "Divine Inspiration" Collection of necklaces, made with recycled vintage stained glass pieces with added vintage jewelry pieces adorning the glass. I think you will agree, these pieces are unique and special. You may notice sanded spots in the lead came, that is where the glass was connected.

Process: I took the pieces apart with care, making sure not to damage the glass. Many pieces were drilled through and others became an inspiration on their own. After pieces became separated, I added vintage jewelry pieces that matched or went with the glass.

There will be more pieces. Come back often to see new additions. Be patient, it takes a lot of time and patience, especially with the drilling!

This item is made from glass. Glass will break if dropped on any hard surface or treated roughly. Please handle your item with care.

I hope you enjoy this collection as much as I have enjoyed creating it!

This piece "Egyptian Sunset" reminds me of the gorgeous sunsets I used to marvel at while living in Egypt.
