Artisan Glass Lemon Drop Necklace

About the Lemon Drop Necklace

Recognized as one of the most significant cultural figures of Victorian Britain, designer William Morris is remembered for his tapestries, wallpapers, stained glass windows and his contributions to the Arts and Crafts Movement. In 1967, London's Victoria and Albert Museum hired Morris to design their public tea room, today called the Morris room and is the world's oldest museum restaurant. Fruit and foliage were featured in the hand-painted wall panels that surround the space.

The Lemon Drop collection recalls the Morris fruit panels, a timeless Arts & Crafts style interpreted in jewelry. Fashioned among bronze leaves and lemon blossoms, a single lemon of artisan glass catches the light in an ideal creation for every season. Pendant includes a removable brass chain plated with 24K gold, adjustable from 16" to 17.75". Earrings and Brooch also available as part of this collection (see below).

Created in Connecticut, the metal portions are solid high-quality bronze cast with the traditional 'lost wax method' using the artist's original sculpture and provided with a hand-finished patinas of green and white. Glass portions are kiln-fired and cast by hand, in a warm, tasteful tone of pale yellow. 

Please note: Because the artisan glass is hand-cast, small variations are to be expected and adds unique artistic character.
