Jane Barthelemy
Glass Jewelry

Jane Barthelemy, Oregon jewelry designer creates colorful necklaces, earrings, bracelets and pendants in contemporary, innovative, multi-layered glass designs. Jane infuses the finest of old-world craftsmanship with eclectic, energized and modern style.

Jane creates her exciting, fashion-forward glass jewelry in an airy studio in Portland, Oregon, surrounded on all sides by 12-foot shelves of the finest quality beads and findings. Her favorite components include Murano glass, Bohemian glass, antique Japanese beads, handmade glass beads by USA bead designers and freshwater pearls. She uses superior American-made findings of sterling silver and gold vermeil.


Jane’s exclusive lamp beads are made entirely by hand over a single flame. Many of the beads have an internal layer of 24k gold or sterling silver, which adds luminosity to the transparent colors. Each color must be layered one at a time while keeping the molten glass at a constant temperature, or the bead will crack.


A handmade gift card including the name of the piece, a fine art color image, and a poem that inspired the design accompanies many of the necklaces, making a wonderful gift. Jane’s galleries look forward to each season’s new glass creations, with unusual names such as “Endangered Species,” “Candy Glass,” and “Puzzle Cubes”.
