The mustard seed has long represented Faith and also good luck. The seed was introduced as a fashion accessory over 200 years ago. Mustard seed jewelry made a come back during WWII as a symbol of hope & perseverance. It's popularity continues today. Faith as small as a mustard seed can move mountains.
I have had several requests to make a pendant with a mustard seed but every time I made one, I wasn't quite happy with it. I then came across these tiny glass bottles and just love it. The seed is permanently encased with silver/tin solder, hand formed and the tiny bottles have a round bottom which allows the mustard seed to move about. Wonderful gift to remind and to offer.
Each piece of jewelry is lovingly handmade by me in my studio on the bayou. If you have any questions, please contact me.
Please keep in mind that the photographed mustard seed necklace is a representation of what you will receive. As with all handmade, though I strive for it, no two are ever exactly alike.
PROCESS: I dry press wildflowers, moss, dandelion seeds and other forest floor findings for several months and then layer them between glass. Using the copper foil (Tiffany method), soldered with lead-free silver solder, patina and lastly apply a hand polished finish. I’ve made the bail large so if you chose to use a different chain or cord, it will oblige.

Meet the Maker
I opened Bayou Glass Arts in 2010 but didnt really get serious until 2013 when I began working my jewelry full time. The "Tiffany" method of applying copper foil and solder is the process I use in making my jewelry. There is an industrial and organic sense to both the look and feel of my work. I use the highest quality metal sensitive friendly solder (no nickel, no lead). Brass and copper are my jewelry findings of choice and my packaging is thoughtful and secure to assure your purchases arrive safely.
Custom work is at the core. Creating unique mementos or keepsakes with a personal touch, not duplicated or manufactured. I enjoy knowing my customers and working with them to create the perfect gift for either themselves or others. This personal touch and making certain the experience is a pleasant one, this matters to me.
I believe in handmade. I buy handmade and vintage whenever I can and truly feel that by supporting one another we create our own micro-economy of better quality and entrepreneurship.
