The Candy Current Earrings explore horizontal color transitions, layered geometry, and fluid movement. Part of an intentional shift in my studio practice, this design captures a complex, multi-toned colorscape suspended within a single form.
In this series, I am approaching the glass-making process differently by embedding multiple distinct colors within a single piece of glass, creating a horizontal mosaic beneath the surface. Instead of isolating one dominant hue like I normally do, several colors now co-exist within the same form. I play with the push and pull of color inside the glass beneath the top layer of optical glass, creating deep pools that shift and blend into one another before carving back into the finished piece to visually break them up again. I hand-fabricate the geometric wire loops, the custom bezel settings, and the ear wires from sterling silver, nesting a single, bezel-set genuine topaz gemstone into the top curve of each cluster.
Because this new method is a slow, highly exploratory cold-worked process full of small surprises and technical challenges, every glass element behaves differently, ensuring that these precise color blends belong strictly to this one-of-a-kind pair.
Hand-fabricated sterling silver, cold-worked glass, and genuine topaz gemstones.
