teal cluster slice earrings

Description

these glass earrings were made very carefully, in multiple steps. I make all my glass murini patterns from scratch in a hot glass studio, and the silver settings are designed by me, and made specially for each individual piece.

The process of making glass murini is a labor-of-love; I start with 3 or 4 various chunks of colored glass. I heat them up individually, and while they're hot, layer them one on top of another (like dip coat for ice cream), and then stretch out the mixed glob of hot glass to a long, thin "cane". I then chop up the "cane" to shorter lengths, stack them back together in a colored cup (looks very much like pencils and pens in a cup), or bind the canes with steel wire. (see additional image as an example of pattern in process). I then load the bundle into a kiln, heat it and stretch the bundle out again into another cane. When the glass is cool, I slice it up (like sushi), and polish each slice. it is only then that i can make different types of jewelry out of them.

These murini earrings are just over 1.5 inches in diameter, and hang about two inches from the ear lobe. the surface of the glass was gently buffed, and gives it a soft glow like beach glass.
