Vintage Jewels

More leftover jewels from the Nervo factory, still in their original boxes. (You might actually receive the white box with the Nervo logo on it if you order about 10 of these). Commonly used in the border of a window. They measure 2-1/2" on each side. A ridge starts at each corner and the three ridges meet in the center of the jewel, like a shallow three-sided pyramid. The jewel's thickness at the center is about 1/2". The edges are 1/8" thick, so they take copper foil quite well. The surface of the triangle jewel is covered by a raised irregular design resembling small vines. The blue is slightly translucent, where the green is a solid green opalescent.

These polished glass jewels are top quality German products which are cast and then tumbled to produce a perfect finish. They are suitable for use in jewelry work. One of their uses is in the lampshades of the Tiffany Dragonfly Series, and in other applications calling for elongated shapes, such as in floral or geometric designs. Here is an example of one Dragonfly Shade, in which many sizes and shapes of oval glass jewels are used.

These jewels have "West Germany" printed on their wrappers, and have been sitting on our shelves since back when the Berlin Wall was new. We have a limited number on hand, so when they're gone, they're really gone.

We have acquired these perfect quality Bavarian glass jewels, which were made for the stained glass industry. These are a rare and endangered species, because of the environmental laws which prevent many of the small Bavarian "cottage industries" from producing the jewels in the old way
