Miscarriage Ornament, order 12 weeks, Glass Plum Christmas ornament w birthstone, hand blown glass art, infant loss keepsake gift by GlassBerries

Miscarriage Ornament, Glass Plum Christmas Ornament featuring a handmade realistic glass plum to represent your baby. The Damson plum is set off by a green glass leaf to symbolize growth and a sparkling crystal heart that depicts your love. All are cradled in a shallow frosted glass lens that is meant to evoke the womb where your baby began. The plum is about 1/2 inch (12-14mm) high. The glass leaf is 1-1/2 inches (38mm) long, and the crystal heart is 10mm. You can select from twelve different crystal colors when you place your order. I've used 14/20 Gold Filled chain and rings to assemble the components so your ornament will never tarnish. It will be packed in a free paper gift box with a gold bow.

"Your baby is the size of a plum." These words appear on several popular internet pregnancy calendars at the 12 weeks stage of development. This ornament can be a sensitive keepsake for yourself or for a family who is grieving the loss of an infant at 12 weeks due to miscarriage or other complications.

About Shipping:
I ship most orders 1 to 3 days after they are received. Orders ship free in the US via First Class Package Service, but if you need your package sooner, upgrades to Priority Mail order or Express Mail can be purchased during Checkout. If you need more certainty, Message me to discuss options for UPS 2-day and Next Day Air. A signature will be required for orders valued over $500. If it's inconvenient to sign for packages at your home address, during checkout you can provide the address of another place where someone will be available to sign - perhaps at your work or the home of a trusted friend.

The Nature of Mother Nature:
Almost nothing in nature is completely round, smooth or even, so I avoid making my glass fruit and leaves too perfectly. I put on little splotches and speckles, make them a tidbit lopsided, and add other small imperfection so that each berry or leaf is unique. This makes them look much more real.

Process and Materials:
These glass plum and leaf beads are individually handmade by me from colored glass rods and powders in the flame of a torch. For the plum I melt the glass directly onto a piece of 20 gauge copper wire, which becomes the "stem" of the fruit. The surface color is made by melting in several coats of powdered glass. I did not make the glass lens - that was purchased from another source.

Photography:
The photos above are representative of the glass ornaments I make in this style. The ornament you receive will be similar to, but not exactly the same as, the one shown above. There will be some minor variations in the shape, size and color patterns of each berry and leaf.
