Love Bug | "Imperfectly Fused" Ladybug Necklace

Oh no! The head of this “imperfectly fused” ladybug necklace shifted during the firing process, leaving it and its clear hanging loop slightly askew from the body. The head segment was also fused on top of the body segment, instead of vice versa, which is the proper intended design of this piece. Maybe it’s still worthy of a home, despite its imperfections?



What Exactly Does “Imperfectly Fused” Mean?

”Imperfectly fused” pieces are items that underwent an unexpected change (such as a color shift, movement of a design element, over-softening or under-softening of texture, etc.), during the kiln firing process, causing their final look to diverge from the intended design, and resulting in their failure to meet Glasswork Pixie QA standards. Since their imperfections are often minor, and these pieces are still fully functional, they’re offered at a 50% discount*, hoping to find homes with people who see beauty in imperfection and who prize one-of-a-kind uniqueness.

*Note that “imperfectly fused” pieces are not eligible for cancellations, returns, or exchanges.
