glass jewelry

Transparent decorative accessories

Glass jewelry encompasses decorative accessories—beads, pendants, earrings, bracelets—made from glass rather than precious stones or metals.

The category ranges from inexpensive costume pieces to artisan lampwork and Murano glass commanding high prices.

Glass can imitate gemstones or showcase its own qualities: transparency, color, and the way it catches light.

She collected vintage glass jewelry from the 1920s.
