In 1894 this opalescent Tiffany angel window was installed in Center Church in Hartford, Connecticut. This particular glass, which Tiffany created, became so popular that even turn-of-the-century European decorating named it "le verre américain".

Wow these pieces are simply amazing. They are like stepping into an old church. Beautiful! Leave a Reply. |   Al and Caroline The art of light inspires, and its play with color captivates. Light's transforming quality fascinates, especially when it is captured by gemstones and antique stained glass that glow from within...
... When not in the studio or taking turns answering your questions, we like to blog. Thanks for stopping by! Al is skilled in the arts of goldsmithing, diamond setting and jewelry designing, and all of the jewelry here, except for mixed media, is Al's - - all meticulously done by Al, no outside assistance. Although there are a few collaborative designs with his wife Caroline, and there are her occasional oohs and ahs and what-if questions. Well, maybe a little more often than that! Most of the photography is done by Caroline, and she designs and handmakes mixed media art jewelry.
