Add a splash of color and movement to your day with these handcrafted earrings, featuring handblown and pulled glass beads in vibrant shades of green and blue.
The glass rings are lightweight yet striking, suspended from a delicate chain for a graceful dangle. Each earring measures approximately 2" long, offering just the right amount of length for a playful, eye-catching look. Perfect for everyday wear or to add a pop of personality to a special outfit.
How are the glass beads created?
First, Lisa gathers molten glass on the end of a long pipe and adds colored glass in layers. Next, she blows air through the glass, creating a hole in the bead. Then a second pipe is attached to the glass, and Lisa and her assistant stretch the glass between them into a long cane, reaching between 40 and 50 feet long.
