A bit like Tartan Paint, you can't buy glass like this!
We have to make it ourselves.
Here we have some examples from our 'Stringers Collection' of Jewellery using glass sheets that we constructed ourselves.
The first stage of the process is to cut a sheet of clear glass from which we'll make several items of Stringer jewellery. Thin rods of glass, known as 'Stringers' are then laid over the clear glass matching colours togther as required. You can see that the heart pendant has a different colour pallette to that in the square pendant. The glass is then treated to a Full Fuse, taking it up to over 800 C, which caused the separate pieces of glass to melt together. We've now got a sheet of stripy glass to play with. The individual pieces are now cut from the stripy sheet and treated to second Full Fuse to finalise the shape. Once the final shapes have cooled, the fittings are glued in place, and then the necklace cords are threaded on.
Alongside the pendants, the Stringers Collection also comprises Cuff-Links and Tie Pins - all made from our very own Stringer Glass Sheets.

Unless stated otherwise, our pendants are all provided on an waxed cotton cord which is 18 inches in length, with a 2 inch extender chain. We can swap this for a Stainless Steel chain for a small additional charge.
Due to the way in which glass moves when heated, and because all pieces are hand cut, each of our pieces are unique.
