This Glass Blueberry Pendant Necklace was designed for a little girl. Her Dad wanted something delicate that could
still take a bit of rough treatment from a child. This 4mm Sterling Silver wheat chain is lightweight but strong.
Like all my glass blueberry beads these three were created by melting glass in the flame of a torch
directly onto the twisted ends of copper wires, which became the stems. Because the copper stem is embedded inside the glass it can never be pulled free. The points of the flower star on the end of each blueberry have been
rounded to prevent them from chipping and so they cannot snag on clothing. The surface coloring of
each berry is achieved by sprinkling it with many layers of powdered glass which are then completely
melted into the surface. Because no paint is used the color will never rub, flake or chip off.
These berries are made one at a time so no two are exactly alike.
The length of the necklace you see above is 16” and it is finished with a sterling silver lobster clasp. This particular chain style is also available in 18 and 20 inch lengths. Alternatively, the bail and berries could be used with a different chain or cord of your choice up to 6mm in diameter of leather, silver, or other materials. Just let me know your requirements when you order. You can see alternate blueberry necklace designs and matching blueberry jewelry by viewing the Blueberries Page of this site.
Blueberry jewelry can also be custom made with high-karat gold or platinum findings and accented with gemstone beads. Some examples can be viewed on the Custom Jewelry Page.
