Head Of The Glass

Fusing inspired design and historic glass, artist Laura Bergman hand-crafts each recycled glass pendant from the crushed remains of antique bottles and Mason jars dating between 1900 and 1960. To create each piece, Bergman first scours the rural woodlands of Pennsylvania Amish Country to collect stray shards posing an environmental hazard to local wildlife. She then carefully cleans and melts artful morsels into ravishing clusters that preserve the original ruby, green, navy and amber-tinted glass.

When crafting her piercingly blue pendants, Bergman uses 1940s-era Mason Jars exclusively, to promote its crisp luminescence. Each piece captures a beautiful moment in time from the early decades of the historic 20th century. Includes an item-specific story detailing the age and origin of the specific glass used. Handmade of recycled glass and sterling silver. Sold separately. Due to the reclaimed and handmade nature of these necklaces, each piece will vary.

An avid antique glass and bottle collector, artist Laura Bergman lives near a wooded area with multiple antique bottle dumps. "It always bothered me how, as a collector, we take away the pretty whole bottles, but leave the broken pieces behind," she says. See all creations.
