HOT ! Fused Glass Pendant

This Heart Series pendant has a copper heart inclusion within the glass. It is designed with white, red, orange, sunflower yellow and clear glass. The copper heart fires to a lovely magenta red hue. Some nice bubbles have been captured during the fusing process creating another unique design element. At its widest points it is 2\" long and 1.25\" wide.These pendants are created by firing multiple layers of glass for many hours in a hot kiln at temperatures exceeding 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. The glass is allowed to cool and then cold worked (cutting and grinding) into a pleasing organic shape. Each piece is then returned to the kiln and fired again to give it a nice thick polished edge.Please note that small bubbles can form between the layers of glass where air has become trapped as the piece fully fuses. This is part of the whimsy of kiln firing.Each pendant is unique and handcrafted by me here in my studio in St. Petersburg, FL.All pendants are mounted on a nickel-plated bail unless otherwise stated. The hole through the bail is large enough to allow a variety of necklaces to be used for wear.Every pendant comes with an 18\" stainless steel chain with a 2\" extender.I am passionate about protecting the environment and employ sustainable practices whenever possible. I try to strike a responsible balance between protecting the glass and reducing waste. I select recycled shipping materials and 100% of the packaging you receive is recyclable including the packing tape, tissue paper and zero-waste logo stickers printed with algae ink!
