About this Product
What's cool about this necklace? I made it with Starbuck's bottle glass. During covid, my son and I drank a Starbuck's coffee almost every morning he was at home doing online work. I had so many glass bottles to recycle. I learned how to turn the bottle glass into frit, tiny pieces of glass I could use in glass making. I fused the glass together at the right temperatures and added a little bit of dichroic blue and black glass for some sparkle. The process was so extensive that I didn't make any more like this.
This necklace measures 18" long. The clear Starbuck's glass has a frosty or foggy look after fusing it together, and the blue and black dichroic glass sparkles when the light hits it. The glass pendant or focal point is 1 & 3/4" in diameter.

Meet the Maker
I'm a wife and mother first, but I'm thankful for any free time I get to craft jewelry. My shop at home is my happy place where I work, crank up loud music, and forget any worries I have for just a few hours or so. I'm a self taught metalsmith that fell in love with all the different colors of gemstones. That love ultimately led to my desire to cut stones. I'm also a rockhound and love hunting for crystals, diamonds, and Kentucky agate. For a while I was also fusing glass, but unfortunately, I didn't have much time to add on another hobby. I still have some glass items left to purchase from that endeavor. I hope you enjoy looking at or buying from my shop.
How it’s Made
I made this focal point by fusing glass together (recycled Starbuck's bottle glass).

I want you to be happy with your purchase. If you are not satisfied for any reason, I hope you will not leave negative feedback. I work very hard at what I do. Just notify me within 3 days of receiving, and I will send you a return label so you are not out the cost of postage to return.

PACKAGES LOST IN THE MAIL OR THAT SHOW DELIVERED BUT WERE NOT RECEIVED:
I hope you understand I cannot offer refunds or replacements for packages that show "delivered" (too many scams out there.) But, I will request that the post office do a search on a package if you have not received it, yet it shows delivered. The post office can provide proof of delivery. I do insure large or expensive items, so if a package is lost in the mail (and does not show delivered), I will request reimbursement from the postmaster for you.
