This listing is for a pair of glass and gold midi studs with a clear glass base with crushed furnace glass for a unique mottled effect. I have handmade them from sculpted hot glass, 24 carat gold and surgical steel backs. The glass has been shaped freehand, so the earrings are not identical, but still a matching pair! (I think it gives them character!) Due to high demand these are made to order so the gold pattern may differ slightly from that in the image. Surgical Steel is hypo-allergenic. The steel backs are fused into the glass while it is still hot, so no glue. They are made with a lovely shiny glass, and 24 carat gold leaf as an embellishment. They are approximately 10mm. A lovely gift or to wear all year round. They have been annealed in the kiln to remove all thermal stresses, so they are very durable. Please bear in mind that they are still glass, so they should still be treated with care! They were made by me, in my studio in Edinburgh, Scotland. I am happy to ship worldwide, although please bear in mind shipping outside of the UK can take up to 2 weeks. If you have any questions, please feel free to convo me. Thanks for looking!
