green glass


I took apart somebody's idea of beaded art just to get this one square of green glass. I felt the rest of the necklace was distracting at best (Don't worry I used the other parts of the necklace for something else). I like the starkness of the square and wear it with the thick silver chain above. Glass is such beautiful stuff, I'm sorry we don't see it set more often in precious metals. This piece is set in sterling which is what helps to make it feel so desirable. As with ceramics, glass is flax spun into gold. I love its humble origins and its royal beauty.
