Green Glass Bar Necklace / Recycled Trade Glass / Solid Sterling Silver / Stick Necklace

Description

A thin, hammer formed vertical bar necklace with subtle rustic texture, featuring a small luminous green trade glass bead. Dangles from a diamond cut sterling silver chain.

The design is casual and minimalist, centering on the simplicity of the silver bar and the pop of color that the glass brings. Worn alone or layered with other necklaces, it has an effortless look and feel about it.

This necklace is made to order, the one in the photos is sold and yours will be created just for you with it’s own unique trade glass bead, in your choice of chain length.

ABOUT TRADE GLASS

Trade glass beads are a type of hand formed (usually kiln fired) indigenously produced African bead created from recycled glass, using an age old process that has been around for centuries. It is sourced from sea glass, old medicine bottles, soda bottles and the like. Used as a form of token currency from the 16th-20th centuries, it derives it’s name.

The beads I use are produced primarily in Ghana West Africa. They are Fair Trade.
