A collection of wire wrapped earrings made with glass teardrops gently wire wrapped in gold tone wire and set to dangle from matching hooks that are made by hand. Each of these teardrops has been carefully hand-dipped in glass clouding solution to create a soft satin finish to their surface before they were wrapped and hung.
This set of handmade teardrop earrings are part of a collection called "The Elixirs" that are available both sold individually or in sets. They are made in gold tone wire, silver tone wire or with the option of sterling silver or 14K gold fill wire for a slight increase in price.
Amethyst teardrops in glass make for a rich and mysterious color in these handmade teardrop earrings that have been wire wrapped in gold tone wire.
This pair of earrings is part of a set titled "The Elixirs" and are available both individually or as part of an entire set. They're even available made in gold fill or sterling silver for a bit extra.
These are a beautiful and understated way to add a touch of elegance and color to any outfit!
When I first started "The Elixir Series" of earrings, I began with a variety of clear glass teardrops in different colors. I offered them wire wrapped in gold first, then, when the response was so great to their release, I decided to make them wire wrapped in silver as well.
From there, I became even more inspired. I used to do a good deal of glass etching and sand blasting and I have a good deal of clouding solution left over from this hobby. (It takes quite a bit to do a large mirror or sliding glass door, etc, and the solution can be recycled after use.) So, I decided to do some experimenting with some of my glass beads, and that's how the Frosted Elixirs were born!
The glass teardrops in these wire wrapped earrings have been hand-dipped in clouding solution to create a frosted glass sheen before being wire wrapped and then set to dangle on delicate matching gold-tone hooks that have been designed by hand for a unique and graceful shape.
These 1.2-inch (3.3cm) earrings are made with care to be light-weight on pierced ears and easy to wear and are part of a still-growing series named "The Elixirs". The Elixirs now come in both clear glass as well as in frosted glass (like the pair you see here) as well as in both gold and silver and in a variety of colors of glass teardrops.
I am so very thrilled with how this set turned out. I made The Elixir Series earrings in both the warm tones of gold as well as a cooler set in silver and I'll soon also be making the set in clouded glass instead of clear. (I used to etch glass so I'm going to use my etching bath to cloud the glass by hand so you can look forward to seeing them in the future!)
These glass teardrop earrings are made with tiny transparent glass teardrop briolettes in seven different colors that have all been carefully and securely wrapped with gold filled wire then set to dangle on delicate matching gold-filled hooks. I designed the hooks by hand for a unique and graceful shape instead of using commercially made hooks.
Each pair of earrings in this set is 1.2-inch (3.3cm) in length and are made with care to be light-weight on pierced ears and easy to wear. In fact, I liked them so much I'm thinking of making a set to keep for myself as well!
