All Mere Glass jewellery is made from a base of coloured, dichroic glass. Dichroic glass is coated with an incredibly thin layer of metal which creates luminous and intense colours in the jewellery which change as the wearer moves.The glass is has a wonderful clarity of colour in daylight then, as the light dims, it seems to glow.
Each piece of jewellery starts life as a large sheet of art glass which is cut to size by hand and decorated with paint and glass shards. Pieces of glass are layered to create the basic form of the jewellery and then fired in the kiln to fuse the layers together. Some pieces are fired more than once to ensure the jewellery shows its best possible colour.
Our jewellery is all finished with sterling silver jewellery findings for the highest quality and comfort for the wearer.
Caring for your jewellery...
Fused glass is incredibly strong and smooth - we drop pieces occasionally onto the wooden floor of the studio and they are always fine.
Sterling silver tarnishes in the air or when it is coated with other products. To keep the silver shiny, we recommend
- taking it off before swimming.
- making it the last thing you put to to avoid spraying it with perfumes, hairsprays etc.
- keeping it in its box when it's not being worn.
- giving it a gentle clean with a silver cleaning cloth every so often to keep it looking its best.
We pack all of our jewellery very carefully to ensure it arrives looking its very best. We offer eco-friendly gift wrapping and can hand-write your message on a gift tag to add a personalised, finishing touch to your order.
This pendant measures approximately 4cm x 1cm (1.5" x 3/8").
As each piece of jewellery is individually cut by hand, there are slight variations in the size.
