“Glass jewelry IS the up-and-coming staple as an accessory in the U.S.,” says glass jewelry designer Amy Odom. Since glass jewelry has been around for hundreds of years in Italy, Odom doesn’t really consider glass jewelry a “trend.” She predicts that it may initially be viewed like a new trend until it’s fully realized and appreciated in the U.S. “Our goal is to further the 'trend' here in the U.S. and continue to create designs, shapes, and pieces exclusive to The Glass Café with new colors introduced each season.”

Glass jewelry has been around for hundreds of years in Europe. Glass has a clean elegance that can’t be achieved in plastic, metal or wood. It sparkles in the light and is fairly inexpensive when compared to crystal…or gold…or diamonds. The glass is hand-turned over an open flame with some of our more unique shapes molded color and specific details also being done by hand, no two pieces are exactly alike. There is a certain amount of flexibility and variety in the different shapes that can be created / molded when the glass artisan is very skilled. So the resulting product is quite special and exquisite…something chic and unique!

Glass jewelry has some weight to it, so the presence of a pendant around your neck will be noticeable at first, depending on the shape (certain designs are heavier than others). Rings have a smooth but substantial feel and look; some styles are very subtle and close-fitting in the way they hug your finger for a more conservative look. Other designs are larger and more noticeable in the way they stand off your finger…this has a bolder look.

“We’re very excited to see the reaction of the buyers to our jewelry,” explains Odom. “So far, the women who have worn our jewelry love the look and feel of the glass, and are excited about the different designs and colors we’re offering for spring.”

The Glass Café offers both glass rings and glass pendants in a variety of shapes and styles, and in a rainbow of colors — many of which are not available anywhere else. Pendants are available in the shape of a circle, heart, star, or starfish — with touches of gold- or silver-leaf in the glass. The rings are available as triangles, hearts, stars, starfish, candy mushrooms, candy squares and domes — all in a range of sizes, which is something else that sets The Glass Café apart.
