Vintage Glass Jewels in Brass Settings - White Glass Pears 18mm x 12mm Post-War Japan - Vintage Patina Brass - One Pair - Worldwide International Shipping

Description

These vintage glass stones or jewels are unique - they're opaque rather than translucent, and a soft offwhite, in a slender pear or teardrop shape. They were made in Japan after World War II.

They were labeled when I found them as "faceted" but it's an unusual sort - broad strokes rather than tiny facets. The stones are gently pointed and I've placed them in natural brass one-ring settings. The brass has a vintage patina that provides a lovely contrast to the white stones. (I do have a few pairs of the settings in golden brass - if you prefer that shade, just let me know when you order.)

Of course the ever-so-slightly offwhite glass stones will look wonderful in summer (think of the fabulous earrings!) but I think they'd be terrific in winter as well. Imagine white and black together - these vintage stones with black onyx, for example. Very luxe :-)

These are not flat white - rather, a smidge softer. Just a little, enough to keep them from being too cold.

Each stone measures approx. 18mm long (about 3/4") x 12mm wide (about 1/2"). A perfect size for earring drops, and great in necklace focals as well. You're buying one pair with this listing (I do have more stashed, so if you need a larger quantity just let me know.)

I have this style in aqua as well - see my other listing. Thanks for looking!
