Uranium Vasoline Glass Heart with black frit swirled; victorian-lace swirls on five inch stainless steel wire; approximately 3/4 inches, see size reference in photos. Individually handcrafted lampwork by me. Wire can be easily cut with standard wire cutters, lengthen the height by attaching to longer wire with floral tape.
Each glass heart is individually hand-formed (not pressed) so each is unique and may vary slightly in size. Food safe & low allergy level for jewelry. If you want a different color, message me as some colors do not work well. The wire can easily be cut to desired length or add a note and I'll be happy to cut it for you.
🔥 I make these individually on my torch by heating a color glass rod into a ball between the size of a grape on the end of 22-gauge stainless steel wire, then press, squeeze, mush, pinch and pull into the desired shape; they go directly into a temperature-controlled kiln to properly anneal and harden. 👉 As with any hand crafted items, irregularities occur naturally as each batch of glass rods vary, as well as each heart which adds to the beauty and character.
🎁 These are great for jewelry as well as miniature settings, wedding bouquet or window, shelf, curio or desk displays. They make a perfect gift to say: Thank you, I love you, Thinking of you, Sorry for your loss, or simply... Have a great day!
👉 Default wire is 22 guage stainless steel wire (good for tarnish resistance and low-level allergy reaction). If you need longer wire, one option is to wrap them with floral tape to a longer wire or skewer. Take care manipulating the wire next to the glass.
🏺Vase display: Time to have some fun "junkin' in search for the perfect display vase. Search for mini vases, candle holder, salt/pepper shakers, small liquor flutes, etc. I have a small glass bottle that works perfect. Fill with sand, paint, decorate with ribbon, etc. I find that a vase/container that is 1 - 1.5" shorter than the flowers works best.
😊 I do my best to represent the true size and colors. I photograph them on my studio workbench with LED lights mounted on my ceiling and use my Samsung tablet. I do not manipulate the photo except to crop or reduce the size. So far, the photos seem very true to the product colors, but may vary depending on your device. 😊
