While nothing can replace our love for emeralds, rubies, sapphires and all other gemstones, that doesn’t mean we can’t try other vibrant jewelry trends. Glass jewelry is another fun way to accessorize your summer outfit because it’s just as sparkly, fun, and colorful.
Jane D’Arensbourg, Lizzie Fortunato and Julie Thévenot are some of our favorite designers specializing in these eye-catching pieces, but of course there are many other brands whose handcrafted pieces deserve a place in your jewelry box. Place for you – we have shared them below. From handcrafted Murano glass bracelets to clear rope pendants and candy cane-inspired rings, here are some of the eye-catching glass jewelry to look out for this season.
All Aracheli Studio jewelry is created using German glass beads that were hand stamped in the early to mid 20th century. Each piece features an Art Deco style and no two pieces are alike.
I have a few pieces from this brand that are light, quirky, and conversation-starting. I think this white and lavender necklace is perfect for summer.
Jane D’Arensbourg has been hand-carving glass trinkets in Brooklyn for over two decades. All of her pieces are unique in themselves, especially these clear glass and brass drop earrings. Understated, sure, but definitely not unnoticed.
Another example of her great work. D’Arensbourg takes simple rings and adds interest with sculptural shapes. You can wear it alone, but if I were you I’d add more to your pile.

Murano glass paired with cut green amethyst brings elegance to these Lizzie Fortunato earrings.
These rings look like candy canes, but are actually made from borosilicate glass. The fact that they come in a rainbow of colors? Too good to miss.
This Murano glass bracelet does double duty as an attractive accessory and as a talisman for protection and good luck.
Handcrafted by Kenyan artisans using traditional techniques, this open coil bracelet is sure to become the centerpiece of your hand.
These small and dainty glass dangle hugging earrings make them a great choice to wear anywhere.
