What Makes It Uncommon

The Shattered Glass Ceiling Necklace® is a tribute to those who’ve broken barriers and defied expectations. At its center is a piece of manually cracked glass, symbolizing the milestone breakthroughs achieved by individuals—especially women and those from marginalized communities—who’ve pushed past systemic limits to claim space, voice, and victory.

  • Displayed between two solid panes of glass, the design is finished with a setting of satin sterling silver or gold-plated sterling silver with matching chain.
  • 24" chain.
  • Uncommon Exclusive: Created by our in-house team and only available at Uncommon Goods.
  • Designed and handmade in Brooklyn.

Beatiful necklace, wonderful gift!

Love this necklace and have bought it for a few individuals for graduation gifts. The quality of the necklace is great. This last time, it did arrive with the box completely damaged. I reached out to customer service and did not hear back from them after waiting two weeks. After I reached out again, they let me know the inquiry went to their AI customer service account. Would buy again, but was a bit disappointed about the lack of more immediate, quality, and clear follow up.


Was beautiful but did not last

My husband got this necklace for me a few years ago. I have not worn it a lot but it developed that awful metal smell and has tarnished TERRIBLY. ALSO whatever covered the glass failed and glass pieces are now falling out from around the cracks. Horrible quality. Way too expensive.

Great as a gift. Shipping was great and came on time


Great Piece!

I got this necklace for my wife for our anniversary and loved it! It's a great idea and conversation piece. The size of the pendant is perfect, so is the length of the chain. I highly recommend it.


Beautiful and meaningful piece!

We bought this as a graduation gift for my sister in law. Shipping was quick, the necklace was beautiful, and my sis in law absolutely loved it.


My daughter loved it!

I included a sweet note about how proud I was of her for leaving a men's game behind and starting her own business. She is successful and extremely happy. More shattered ceilings, please.


Iconic gift

Bought this for a friend that I am so proud of. I feel like this gift is representative of how proud I am for her and her hard work. It's rare to find a gift that sends such a strong message. I am grateful to Uncommon gifts for selling something like this. The quality is great and I can tell it will last a while.


Subtle but powerful message

This is a fabulous piece! I bought it for my daughter her senior year of high school. She was devastated when she lost it her senior year of college. I ordered it again and will give it to her for her birthday!


Proud Graduate

What do you get a intelligent & proud 65 year old women who went back to school & got her degree in communication/ journalism who ran a house , worked & went to school. I'm retired don't have a lot of money my sister told me about your website this glass ceiling jumped right out at my it said it all to my friend, she wears it proudly all the time


Amazing Success for women gifts!

Bought two of these, both for graduation gifts for two young women who, in addition to graduating, overcame many obstacles to shatter the glass ceilings. Quality is good. Simplicity makes an item that is easy to way as an every day accessory to remind them how amazing they are.

Is the glass recycled glass?

Verified reply from Coralie

This product is not made from recycled glass.


I notice in some pictures the glass is clear with cracks, and in others it's cloudy with cracks (the cracks do not cause the cloudiness). Is the glass clear? or cloudy? Thanks

Verified reply from Leslie

Hello! The glass is clear, it may appear cloudy in some of the pictures due to the reflection or glare.


I see the chain is nickel free what is the whole product nickel free. The gift recipient has a nickel allergy.

Verified reply from Leslie

The pendant is also nickel free.


Is the necklace chain also sterling silver?

Verified reply from Leslie

Hello! Yes, the chain is also sterling silver.


Could the necklace be engraved around the medal casing?

Verified reply from Melody

While we do not offer engravings for this necklace, you can take it to your local jeweler and see if it's possible. Let us know if you do!


It says to keep out of direct contact with water - what damage will it cause if it is worn to shower each day?

Verified reply from Valerie

Because the pendant isn't watertight, water could get trapped in between the glass panes.


Is the artist/manufacturer a woman?

Verified reply from Sue

While there were women involved in the design, this is not created by a single artist. It was designed by our in-house team with input from a local Brooklyn manufacturer.
