Flying Solo Necklace

The Flying Solo Necklace is where fluid, organic forms meet a timeless, structural elegance. At its heart lies a sleek piece of luminous cold-worked glass, meticulously laminated and carved by hand to evoke a sweeping sense of upward motion and flight. Clean, hand-fabricated sterling silver borders cradle the sculpted glass, tracking its kinetic line with a subtle diamond-textured bezel that catches and scatters the light. Beside it, a faceted genuine topaz charm glints along the chain to add a crisp droplet of brilliance.

Bold yet ethereal, this design plays constantly with light and movement—laminating a fiery, vibrant red layer beneath a clear optical layer so the glass acts as a prism, creating shifting glints and deep reflections as you go about your day. I hand-fabricated the asymmetrical pendant setting to float gracefully along a fluid double-strand chain while maintaining a strong, sculptural presence.

Because I cut and carve each piece of glass individually using traditional water-cooled methods, every piece carries its own subtle, organic variations. To learn more about this technical process, visit my studio journal post on cold-working. It makes for an incredibly distinctive statement piece and a beautiful collector’s treasure.
