    Variations

    This icicle jewellery comes boxed with this label on the back of every box:This story is on the back of every box: WHEN F.W. WOOLWORTH FIRST BROUGHT CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS TO THE UNITED STATES IN THE MID-EIGHTEEN HUNDRED’S, HE GOT THEM IN LAUSCHA, GERMANY, A SMALL TOWN IN WHAT IS NOW EX-DDR THURINGIA. WHEN I FIRST STARTED FLAMEWORKING, THE FIRST THING I DID WAS GO TO LAUSCHA TO STUDY. I WAS QUITE FORTUNATE TO STUDY WITH AN ENTIRE GENERATION OF MASTER GLASSBLOWERS NOW NO LONGER WITH US. THIS ICICLE JEWELLERY IS BASED ON AN OLD LAUSCHA ORNAMENT AND REFERENCES NOT ONLY THE BIRTHPLACE OF ORNAMENTS, BUT ALSO THE HOME OF FLAMEWORKING. EACH ICICLE IS ONE OF A KIND AND MADE FROM BOROSILICATE GLASS IN SCOTLAND BY CARRIE FERTIG.

    Dimensions

    Dangling from a high quality 1.2mm thick sterling silver 18" snake chain, each Arctic icicle necklace is one of a kind and measures between 7.5-9cm (3-3.5"). Gift boxed.

    Made from

    The icicles are made from hollow tubes of borosilicate glass, which is made for science to withstand shock, stress, pressure, extremes of temperature, gas, acid, and 1st year chemistry students. ​ After forming them in the fire, each icicle is then annealed, that is put in a kiln, brought up to temperature, held at that temperature, and brought down to room temperature. This eliminates the stress from the glass. The icicles are then capable of being used as a musical instrument. My icicles are not unbreakable, but they are shockingly tough. Not your grandmother's icicles at all, but definitely inspired by them. I make each one myself in my studio in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

    Each one is hand made and so they are all a bit different as you can see from the photos.
