2025 November « Vintage Glass Jewels

The faceted glass, multi-stone teardrop in this listing is often used for earrings – I wanted to show how lovely it can be as a pendant!

The jewel (multi stone) is 26mm x 13mm – that’s approximately one inch high. The teardrop shape here is what’s called “colorado topaz” – a light golden tan. And you pick the small round stone at the top of the setting – so it’s easy to customize these. Her favorite outfit is an aqua sweater with a tan skirt? Pick aqua blue for the tiny stones here! You get the idea. Customize the jewels – and make an easy to use, easy to wear pendant!

I wanted to show you how clear glass stones – yes, absolutely clear ones, with no color or foil backing – can still have a quiet-but-pretty sparkkle. And make lovely jewelry!

The mannequin in this pic is close to life size, so you can see the scale of these sparkling, clear glass jewels. I used good lighting taking this pic – but it wasn’t unnaturally bright or anything. Walk into a well lit room and this is what your clear jewelry looks like! Combine these clear 10x10mm diamond shape stones, and 14x10mm pear shaped teardrops – or try your own combination of stones in your own creative style.

And of course these are great for Christmas creations to gift or sell!

A pendant and earring jewels set – opaque jet black 25x18mm pear and 8x8mm diamond shape or diagonal square glass stones!

Easy to use – just add earwires to the diagonal square earring gems. Slip a jump ring through the ring at the top of the black pear shaped teardrop pendant, and slip a chain through the jump ring. Your pendant and earrings set will be ready to wear – or gift 🙂

Of course you can make the design more complex – add a cluster of small stones you can find in my shop or dangle larger stones from the 8x8mm small squares for dangling earrings. Play with your own designs and styles!

Sparkling red and crystal clear glass gems are paired in these beautiful multi stone gems!

This color combination is especially popular around Christmastime, of course. These slender earring or pendant jewels have 13x8mm vivid red pears, and you pick color of the tiny round stones – so you can customize these!

Also it’s good to remember that these are lightweight, which my customers love – but most important they have sparkkle and shine and are totally flattering! And of course, visit my shop to see more beautiful glass stones!

Emerald green is a beautiful color – and right now it’s especially useful. Hey, Christmas is coming!

These emerald green faceted glass pears are 18mm x 13mm – that’s approximately 3/4″ x 1/2″. This is a fabulous size for earring jewels – and lovely for pendants. Not too large, not too small. These stones are great used just as is – or used as components in complex pendants or earring designs. Hand set in golden raw brass, antique patina brass, or silver plated brass settings – in one ring or two ring styles. These are definitely a customer favorite in my shop!

Showing off terrific glass stones again! These are sheer montana sapphire – or navy blue – and they’re vintage glass in terrific condition.

The stones are 12mm x 10mm (that’s close to 1/2″ x 3/8″). They’re available hand set in golden raw brass, antique patina brass, or silver plated brass settings – in one ring or two ring styles. They’re a quiet color, not flashy, but that sheer navy blue really works well for daytime jewelry – or subtle nighttime sparkle!

Imagine several of them linked with jump rings, to make a bracelet or necklace “chain”. Or earrings using a single glass oval, linked to intricate filigrees. Or other beads. Let your style shine through!

Right now I’m just going to show off some gorgeous stones. First off – these lovely sheer pink cushion cut octagons.

The stones are 12mm x 12mm (approx. 1/2″). They’re available hand set in golden raw brass, antique patina brass, or silver plated brass settings – in one ring, two ring, or no ring styles. Note that the no ring, and two ring settings, have closed backs. Still lovely with this sheer pink!

These are wonderful for delicate pendants – and great for effortless earrings 🙂
