This is the beginning of our new line of recycled glass, made from jars that are chipped, cracked or overly scratched. Often, the mold number from the original jar is still visible at the center of the gem.
As the glass reforms, it has an organic will of its own, so each one is a unique piece of art, approximately 3.75" across with a dip in the center.
To protect your surfaces and to keep the gem from sliding, we've added three little rubber feet to the underside. And they easily pull off, if you choose.
PLANNING A WEDDING?
If you use vintage mason jars as part of your decor, this glass will match perfectly.

A LITTLE BLUE JAR HISTORY...
Ball Brothers of Muncie, Indiana made this color of jar from 1914-1937. The color came from minerals in the Lake Michigan sand and the oxygen content of the furnace. Even though the glass varied in color from green to aqua to blue, no one has been able to reproduce Ball's antique colors after 1937--not even Ball themselves! They revived the blue jars in 1975-76 for the US Bicentennial, but even that blue is not quite the same.
All the work is done here in our home studio. We are VERY excited about the possibilities. If you are unhappy with your Jar Gem, just return it for a full refund.
Ball's blue glass is just too beautiful to throw away!
