Glass with Refrain

A 1905 opera house chandelier drop.

A glass fragment from a 1962 Czechoslovakian crystal factory's reject pile. The delicate, hand-painted musical note on its surface remains intact, while the glass itself has been carefully weathered to resemble sea glass, its original sharp edges worn smooth. Now, it serves as a tiny, melancholic keepsake, a poignant reminder of the beauty in discarded things.

Glass earring featuring a hand-painted musical note, crafted from salvaged glass with a weathered finish.
