Black Velvet lever earrings (matte black), recycled glass
Black Velvet lever earrings (matte black), recycled glass
Pretty pair of earrings, which close behind the ear with the lever system! Black in color, they were created from the glass of a bottle of Irish cream.
I cut, assemble and melt the glass at 1600 degrees to create the glass pieces! They are then frosted to give them a velvety effect, similar to glass floated by the sea!
The studs of the earrings are made of stainless steel, so they will stay beautiful and won't cause an allergic reaction.
The gold (8mm) and rose-gold (8-10-12 mm) levers are a little smaller than the silver ones, i.e. the "magnifying glass" that goes into the ear is shorter. The piece of glass is therefore closer to the lobe. Despite their small size, they do just as well to adult ears. See the comparative photo to better understand!
**Note that each piece of jewelry is handmade by humans! It is very likely that the jewel received differs slightly from that of the photos.
Price is for one pair only!

Manufacturing process
Manufacturing process
- Handmade jewelry in Quebec -
Each piece of glass of the jewelry is handmade, in my workshop in St-Denis-de-Brompton (near Sherbrooke)
Each bottle or sheet of new glass will be cut into small squares, with a manual glass cutter. The squares will then be combined according to the result I want to obtain. Everything will be melted between 1500 and 1600 degrees F, depending on where the glass comes from.
Firing the glass takes about 15 hours in total. When the glass pieces are cold, if necessary, the matte finish will be done mechanically, a bit like glass polished by the sea, then they will be assembled on the frames.
As each piece of jewelry is handmade, there may be slight differences between the piece of jewelry shown in the photos and the one you will receive.

The last thing you should wear when getting dressed in the morning is your jewelry. It's also the first thing you should take off at night. Avoid wearing your jewelry in water, they will stay beautiful longer!
You can clean your earrings with rubbing alcohol to remove residue.
Allergies
Allergies
If you tend to react easily to your earrings, I strongly advise you to take the silver colored ones. 99.9% of women have no problem with silver colored ones (avoid gold and rose-gold for the first order)
Everything is done so that you do not react to the ears. If you ever feel any discomfort while wearing your earrings, contact me. I guarantee all my products without allergies, or I will refund you. Please contact me before any return.
