Breaking the Glass Ceiling Fused Glass Pendant
Each Breaking the Glass Ceiling Pendant is handmade fused glass using recycled bottles that are kiln fused into an iconic piece that celebrates the history making "breaking the glass ceiling", in which women hold positions that were previously held only by men. All profits from the sale of my Breaking the Glass Ceiling jewelry are donated to the Democratic National Committee to support the breaking of the ultimate glass ceiling.
This pendant was inspired by a brooch worn by Madeleine Albright when she became the first woman to hold the office of United States Secretary of State. My interpretation is individually handmade of recycled glass bottles that are first cleaned and the labels removed. The bottles are then broken and the glass shards are carefully arranged to form the base of the pendant, and then fully fused and annealed to become one piece. A piece of fused cobalt glass was added to complete the work. The pendant finding is a high quality silver plated single piece that is permanently affixed to the glass. On some pieces the finding is slightly visible from the front.
This listing is for one piece, the pendant shown in the first photo; it is approximately 1 3/4" x 1". The group photo shows some different available sizes and accent pieces, each piece is unique. I also make these as pins and brooches in various sizes, and small tie tacks for men. If you'd like a custom size or accent piece please contact me. Custom pieces take a week or longer to create; finished pieces that are purchased as shown are shipped the next day.
Please note that these pieces, particularly those with narrow projections, are somewhat fragile and must be worn and handled accordingly. Keep out of the reach of children.
