Glass repair for old lamp

Glass peeps:

I have an old antique lamp that has a few glass dangly bits. Two of which have broken. Is there any way to safely remedy and twist the ends of the two broken pieces to fix the lamp?


That’s a beautiful lamp and I hope you can find someone with the glass skills to fix that.

If not, I have another suggestion. You might be able to replace all five of the drops. These people on Etsy make something very similar in a wide variety of colors and I’m guessing you could get them to make the color and size you need.

I know this isn’t what you’re looking for but it might be better than nothing.

Hadn’t thought of just completely replacing… good idea!

Piggybacking off of Chris, and in the spirit of keeping as much of original as possible, can the ones that are still there be moved to other spots? This would allow something like an [ old | new | old | new| old | new ], or an [ old | old | new | old | old | new ] pattern. Or whatever, depending on how many are broken or near-broken (just 2?) and cost of replacements and your esthetic preferences.
