Jewelry

Some of the glass I use is so beautiful, I wanted to make it wearable. So, using new and/or scrap pieces of art glass, I started to make earrings and pendants. I use lead-free solder for these because they will be handled frequently and will touch the skin.  Some are embellished with pre-tinned copper wire. Other than that, they are made much the same way as a panel.  There is a definite learning curve from regular panel work...lead free solder is a whole different animal, and much harder to work with.  But I really enjoy wearing and sharing these pieces. I am constantly asked about the jewelry whenever I wear it and it seems to be a hit!
New pieces coming all the time...contact me for more info or check Etsy!

Some work so far:
