We made this beautiful and striking accessory from reclaimed antique Uranium glass, after kiln-firing the pieces we left the upper piece clear and sand-tumbled the lower piece to create a sea-glass effect before hand-wrapping them with Copper wire using Silver soldered joints to add strength and aesthetics.

We used a combination of techniques such as patinating and Nickel and Copper plating on the Copper wire to create our desired effect (Nickel imparts a durable, shiny finish). The Copper is not varnished and overtime the patina will change, this beautiful property of Copper means that your piece will take on individual characteristics, telling its own story of how it has been used.

Most of our items are handmade, one-of-kind or unique and this piece is no exception. Our reclaimed Uranium glass pieces are obtained from Uranium glass dinnerware or ornamental items that were damaged and often retain the patterns or other surface features that were part of the design of the original item, this is an intentional result of our crafting process.
