Frankfort Lighthouse Jewelry by Korner Gem
Stuff We Love
July 27, 2024
When life gives you broken glass, make jewelry! That’s what Korner Gem of Frankfort (and Traverse City) is doing with broken windows from the Frankfort North Breakwater Lighthouse. The windows had been smashed up from decades of weathering the elements, and Korner Gem took 344 pieces—certified by the city of Frankfort—to create one-of-a-kind silver and gold jewelry. The glass pieces come from the original 1912 build of the top of the lighthouse as well as the 1932 addition. For each piece sold, Korner Gem will donate 33 percent of the proceeds to the Frankfort Lighthouse Restoration Project (FLRP), which aims to restore the historic landmark to its former glory. Shop the selection at 327 Main St. in Frankfort (kornergem.com) and visit the FLRP group on Facebook to learn more about the lighthouse.
