Chain maille pendants are unique and beautiful. When glass and metal rings are combined, these pendants are even more spectacular! Or are you looking for something different to decorate your Christmas tree? This pendant would make the perfect ornament for any tree!
This glass pendant or ornament is made with stainless steel jump rings, as well as glass rings in ruby red and emerald green - perfect colors for Christmas. It measures approximately two inches across, and feels somewhat heavy (although it still weighs less than an ounce).
I wanted to create a pendant that used the fabulous colors of glass rings available, but incorporated them into chain maille. I prefer stainless steel rings over aluminum and silver, so the majority of my work uses them. Stainless steel resists tarnishing (unlike silver), and requires only occasional cleaning with mild soap, water, and a soft cloth. It is also much stronger than aluminum and silver, so it is less likely that the rings will become misshapen or bend apart.Stainless steel is more costly than aluminum or plated rings, but higher quality. It is also more difficult to work with as it does not bend easily.
I have many colors of glass rings available. Please check out my shop for other items, or contact me for a list of what I have. I would be happy to create a custom pendant just for you in any color (or combination of colors) you prefer!
