Fascination Glass Earrings
Fascination Glass Earrings
Iridescent bubbles and swirling colors are locked within the clean lines of these glass earrings. Using a "glass fusion" process, artisans in Chile create these one-of-a-kind jewelry items. First a rectangle of glass is hand-painted with enamel pigments, and another unpainted rectangle is placed on top. These are placed in a kiln and fired to achieve the resulting color and design.

HANDCRAFTED IN CHILE

  • Glass, metal
  • Colors and patterns will vary
  • 2.25L inches
  • Handcrafted in Chile
  • Due to the handcrafted nature of our products, slight variations enhance authenticity.
