Cool and Refined

Picture that first morning after a long winter when you know that spring is on its way, light catching the ice as it begins to melt. This delicate necklace lets you carry that fleeting beauty with you. Its pendant is handcrafted from icy blue glass that dangles, as if ready to drip, from a thin silver chain.

Jewelry artist Jess Panza grew up at the rainy foot of the Appalachian Mountains, and soaked in the magic of watching raindrops perpetually race each other down the window pane. She now captures that sense of natural wonder in her atmospheric accessories. Handmade in Los Angeles, CA.

This delicate pendant could, at a glance, almost be mistaken for a shimmering drop of water. Would you wear Jess Panza's handmade piece?

Nice but to fragile. One tap and it's gone

Very pretty - I would wear it.

Absolutely beautiful!

Carrie

This is a nice idea, but if you look at the top of the pendant near the bail, the glass looks jagged and sharp. I'd be scared to wear it.

The thinner the chain, the better.

very ordinary

It doesn't have any artistic appeal, in my opinion.

Lovely, simple. Great packaging idea.

TexasLaura

Lovely, simple. Would go with a lot. I would hope it's very delicate and would like it to be a bit tinier overall, though. Perhaps, if popular, consider a smaller size of this.

This looks super pretty!

Ara

Cute! I can imagine wearing this to the city; Cute, simple design, doesn't look too expensive, but if someone did try to mug me, I'd have something sharp to defend myself with, too!

Betty

Love it...can be worn w/a tshirt or w/a dress...very versatile ...price point?

SUSAN

A little too fragile looking. Plus the loop at the top looks a little rough.

diane

I like it. . . But whats the price point?

Regina

I like this! Yes! I would buy it!

Naomi

beautiful!

christina

it seems really sharp to me. is it safe to wear?!

Carla
Vote: Thumbs up!

I think this is so simple and elegant. I would be interested in the cost. It would be pretty long or short chained.

jen

Beautiful. Honestly, though, I never buy from UG, the prices are simply not reasonable. I love to look, though!

Amy

Love the length of the chain and looks like a good size pendant too.

I love this place!!!!

Carol

like the design of necklace.

Anita

I'm loving the pendant - I'd suggest the chain be a little more delicate but other than that - it looks like a "keeper".

Melissa

Would love matching earrings!

So pretty! I would wear it!

Alex

I like the pendant but the chain doesn't look good with it.

Linda
Vote: Thumbs down!

IF I saw someone wearing that, I would never guess it was supposed to resemble a raindrop.

Pamela

Really like this. How about a stronger chain

Catherine
Vote: Thumbs up!

While I gave this lovely piece a 'thumbs up' it really does depend on just how fragile this piece may be. Would need more info regarding that aspect of the design.

Cool idea, but when I see it I think of baby drool. Maybe it's just me. But then again when I am toting along my 6 month old, I am sure others would think the same!

Susan

Just doesn't o anything for me.

Lorraine

I don't care for the long silver shank that is deeply embedded into the glass and the top of the pendant looks jagged. The glass on top is too thin and looks susceptible to breakage.

Jody

It's beautiful and simple...

Kimberly
Vote: Thumbs down!

It seems to be too fragile, since it is made from glass, the chain does not look like it goes with the pendant, a box chain would look better

Delicate and elegant! I know this raindrop, as well!!

I think this pendant is exquisite. I would LOVE to wear it and feel it would be a daily-wear piece.

Martha
Vote: Thumbs up!

I would wear this! I would buy 5 of them for my bridesmaids!

Lisa
Vote: Thumbs up!

I love the idea behind this, and the color is my favorite. I would only worry about breaking it right at the top.

Heather
Vote: Thumbs up!

I love this idea, but fragility would be a concern for me, too. Also, I think the delicate chain is complementary, but I would like to see it with a couple other styles (box, snake, etc). And, I'm with Jen on this one -the prices on the unique and interesting pieces I see on UG very rarely fit into my budget.

Helena
Vote: Thumbs up!

Before even reading the back story I fell in love with this peice. I knew exactly what it was. It is so simple and elegant that I would wear it with everything. I just worry that it may break off from the top. The color is spot on! Love it.

Donna

Due to the economy, I can't always buy what I like. I like this, but purchase will depend on the price.

Not "droppy" enough to really look like a raindrop....top looks ready to break in a second...nope.

unimaginative and uninteresting - sort of boring - sorry

VERY pretty! I agree with others that it looks really fragile, so I would be worried about ruining it.

It could also be a tear of joy or saddness to give to someone - to your daughter as a tear of joy from when she was born or to a distant love whom you miss deeply.

Kristen

Would really dig matching earrings

Cynthia

I collect glass, including jewelry. Love this.

Sheila
Vote: Thumbs up!

I see tear - of joy? of sorrow? suspended emotion. Perfectly classic matched with a little black dress.

christina
Vote: Thumbs down!

glass jewelry is nice but this has been done before, you need to step it up if your making glass now.

Nadine
Vote: Thumbs up!

Just a thought-- I would need to know how fragile that drop is. If its borosilicate glass, then fine. Otherwise, I would be concerned about it.

marsha

cute but its missing something. too simply

Kimberly

Beautiful! I usually wear slightly larger scale jewelry, though, and so probably wouldn't buy for myself. Would love to see it in earrings!
