Grandmother's Buttons Cloud Opal Necklace [PRE-ORDER] (Buy 2 Get 1 Free Mix & Match)

$85.00

MADE-TO-ORDER, PRE-ORDER. IF IN STOCK, IT WILL SHIP OUT PROMPTLY, BUT IF NOT, WE WILL SHIP ONCE IT'S MADE IN AN ESTIMATED TWO WEEKS.

We discovered the special hand-pressed cloud opal glass cabochon centering this necklace while teetering on top of a ladder in a New England warehouse. It's one of the most beautiful examples of mid-century Czechoslovakian glassworkers' art we've ever seen.

The opal is accented with an antique button, a Cherry Brand glass jet and goldstone cabochon, and a delicate jet glass loop.

Cherry Brand glass was made by Japanese rice farmers moonlighting as glass artisans during the American occupation of Japan after WWII.

Every antique button is a one and only, chosen just for you, and so will not be identical to the image.

This necklace also features a sliding clasp that enables you to adjust its length to suit any neckline. You can wear it as a choker, as a long pendant, or anywhere in between.

In this piece:

  • Antique metal button, circa 1880-1918
  • Oval cloud opal lampworked & pressed glass cabochon from Czechoslovakia
  • Cherry Brand jet & goldstone glass cabochon, made in post World War II allied occupied Japan
  • Delicate French jet glass loop found wrapped in a Paris newspaper from 1912 
  • Antiqued brass chain
  • Chain adjusts from a 15" choker to a 32" long pendant with a sliding clasp
