 Jan Christiansen
Using Italian glass, Jan has been creating lampwork beads for 10 years, using only sterling silver to accent the beads. The sterling tube has hand-sewn beadwork. Silver necklaces are made by crocheting very fine strands of silver with Swarovski crystals. Her glass fusion pendants are made from dichroic glass. The glass appears to be one color when light shines through it, and another color when light reflects off it. Often four or five layers of glass are melted at 1600 degrees. They are then cut, shaped and reheated again; creating one of a kind glass art. Most of Jan's jewelry is priced between $30 and $66. To find a location that carries Jan’s work, click on Find the Art.
