These bright red stained glass earrings are a perfect accessory to compliment any outfit, be it on a casual evening or a big party night. The earrings are carefully handcrafted using red colored glass remnants picked up from recycling centers for bottles & jars and cups & plates from garage sales. This recycled glass is cut, ground, carefully laid out on a kiln shelf, and fired in an electric kiln for about a day. The shiny glass pieces are then assembled into simple, yet elegant, earth friendly jewelry. The translucent glass & colorful shiny surface of these stained glass earrings is perfect for any wardrobe.

About Jody
 "My interest in environmental issues dates back to the early seventies and the first Earth Day. This early commitment has influenced the life I have pursued.
In a stained glass class in 1983, I realized the possibilities of combining my passions to create Recycled Glass Jewelry. This early effort has evolved into my current line of handcrafted Earth Friendly Jewelry. Stained glass artists supply me with a wide array of colored glass remnants and recycling centers are my source for bottles and jars. I’m always on the lookout for anything made of glass that I can saw, cut or break into raw materials for my jewelry. This reclaimed glass is cut into the desired shapes and either fired in a kiln or processed in a rock tumbler. The kiln fired glass retains the shiny surface and the pieces of tumbled glass are etched to a beach glass texture. These individual pieces of glass jewelry are then carefully fitted with hypoallergenic surgical steel wires. The results are guaranteed to delight." Jody Freij-Tonder |
