Earrings made with little balls of frosted transparent lime and ivory glass which hang from stainless steel oval hoop earrings. The hoops are medical grade stainless steel, making these ideal for everyday wear. The earrings click closed so they're secure in your ears while being worn.
The glass drops hang on jump rings which move freely on the hoops. These can be removed to leave a plain pair of hoops.
The frosted finish gives a sea glass like effect - making these earrings a charming reminder of a blissful day at the beach.
Measurements
Glass balls are approximately 7-8mm in diameter - as each earring is handmade they vary slightly, but you'll always get a matching pair.
The glass balls are melted onto stainless steel bails.

What are the earrings made from?
The balls are made from soda lime (soft) glass. The earrings are medical grade stainless steel.
How are these earrings made?
We start by making the balls of glass with transparent and ivory glass on stainless steel bails (a little loop and peg). This fuses the glass securely without the need for drilling or glue. Then a stripe of silvered ivory is added to create the line between the two colours. The glass is then annealed to ensure strength and durability. The frosted finish is created by tumbling the glass in a rock tumbler with sand, grit and water. Finally the glass drops are cleaned, added to jump rings, hung on the hoop earrings and packed.
