Turquoise Earrings

Great Glass Jewelry

The glass jewelry is made from two or three layers of flat colored glass- a base color, the dichroic (colorful) glass in the middle, and then a clear glass on top.It is melted in a kiln at about 1400+ degrees to a thickness of about ½”.

Chainmaille is created by opening and closing individual rings and interconnecting them.  Some pieces like earrings take about an hour, while complex weaves take days.  All my chainmaille jewelry is made with lightweight aluminum (does not tarnish!) sterling silver, stainless steel (won't tarnish) or copper links.  To clean copper if you prefer the bright, shiny look simply soak the piece in equal parts water and lemon juice.
