Glass Gooseberry and Leaf Charm Necklace on Sterling Silver
NBOG-JLS

The Glass Gooseberry Necklace you see here features one of my handmade glass ripe gooseberries paired with a light or dark green glass leaf. The gooseberry is about 18mm high. Both charms are suspended on Sterling Silver figure-eight chain. The copper wire stem of the gooseberry is embedded inside the glass and cannot be pulled free. Like real gooseberries, each of mine is a translucent green with delicate white veins running over its surface from the stem to the dried flower at the tip, and you can see the seeds inside. The edges of the glass dried flower at the end of each gooseberry have been rounded so they will not snag on clothing. These beads are hand-formed in the flame of a torch from colored glass and copper. As a result, the color will not rub, flake or chip off, and no two gooseberries are exactly alike.

The standard length for the figure-eight chain you see above is 20 inches and it is finished with a lobster clasp. You may wear it at any length you please by clipping the lobster into the link of your choice. The free end of the chain is finished with a small matching glass leaf. Different lengths and clasp styles are available by special order. Like all of my jewelry, this design is available in both Sterling Silver and 14/20 Gold-Filled. You can see matching gooseberry jewelry by viewing the Gooseberries Page of this site.

Gooseberry jewelry can also be custom made with high-karat gold or platinum findings and accented with Swarovski Crystal or gemstone beads. Some examples can be viewed on the Custom Jewelry Page.

Ordering information is available on the Order and Contact Page.
