Jenean Monasch is the artist and owner behind Great Glass Jewelry. She has been working with glass for over fifteen years. She started with stained glass, then took a glass fusing workshop and indulged her love of colorful jewelry.

 

About ten years ago, she taught herself how to do chainmaille, at first thinking she didn’t have the patience to put together necklaces link by link, but after viewing the results, she persevered.

All Jenean's creations are unique and one of a kind. In the case of the fused dichroic (dye-kro-ick) glass, it’s almost impossible to replicate pieces!

Great Glass Jewelry

 

The glass jewelry is made from two or three layers of flat colored glass- a base color, the dichroic (colorful) glass in the middle, and then a clear glass on top.It is melted in a kiln at about 1400+ degrees to a thickness of about ½”.

 

Chainmaille is created by opening and closing individual rings and interconnecting them.  Some pieces like earrings take about an hour, while complex weaves take days.  All my chainmaille jewelry is made with lightweight aluminum (does not tarnish!) sterling silver, stainless steel (won't tarnish) or copper links.  To clean copper if you prefer the bright, shiny look simply soak the piece in equal parts water and lemon juice.
