Carved Glass for Accents and Jewelry Findings

We have acquired these perfect quality Bavarian glass jewels, which were made for the stained glass industry. These are a rare and endangered species, because of the environmental laws which prevent many of the small Bavarian "cottage industries" from producing the jewels in the old way.

These clear jewels are perfect in every respect. For the clear intaglio jewels, the subject matter is incised, or carved into the reverse with acid, and requires several steps. Carefully polished to a high luster, they will enhance any stained glass project in which you choose to use them. They are primarily intended for use in jewelry making, and the sizes are standard sizes used in jewelry making craft.. The edges are thin enough to be wrapped with lead came or copper foil if you wish to incorporate them into a box lid.

Please allow us to introduce a new jewel that you haven't seen yet.  It's one of our vintage crystal jewels that somehow never made it on to the website.This jewel is amber colored, and its carved design has less intricate detail than the clear jewels, but these differences create a lovely effect.

We call this jewel "Venus Disarming Cupid", as it depicts Cupid's mother Venus holding Cupid's arrow out of his reach.

This dark-amber flat intagio carved jewel is flat with a beveled edge.  It is very cute and falls into the romantic category.  It is 1-3/8" (35 mm) round.
