The Pere Preciuse project is an innovative fashion and jewelry venture that incorporates the use of “From Stone to Glass,” a groundbreaking glass coloring technique. Unlike traditional methods, which are highly toxic and environmentally unsustainable, “From Stone to Glass” offers a sustainable alternative. The project aims to provide a similar aesthetic outcome to the classical approach, but with the use of eco-friendly materials. The locally-sourced glass is derived from common stones found in Israel. This recyclable glass employs natural mineral colors without any chemical additives. Shaping, sharpening, cutting, or drilling this glass offers a sustainable alternative to conventional glass manufacturing. The colorant's versatility positions it as a potential substitute for gemstones, catering to the high-end jewelry sector on a significant scale.
