Each earring begins with a faceted amethyst stud in soft lavender, set in sterling silver. Below it, a cascade of open silver bubbles leads the eye down to the main event: a carved glass drop that shifts from blue to teal to violet to pink depending on the light and the moment. The glass itself is sculpted into an organic, lobed shape, smooth and almost liquid looking, like something the ocean might have made. They move beautifully, catch light constantly, and are impossible to ignore.
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.
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 with faceted amethyst and hand-carved glass.
One of a kind.
